I am from Detroit, Michigan and I am a custom clothier and student of design. I have converted additional living space in my home into a studio and a workshop. I am dedicated to making beautiful clothes.


The design student is my nickname.  It's simple to remember at cocktail parties/fashion shows/incubator events, even if you've had one too many Mojitos.  Chances are, that simplicity led you here.


I own and operate a custom denim workshop. Denim from America, Italy and Japan.

Who wouldn't love to design a favorite pair of their own denim jeans?  I should be busy for a very long time.
Booking from $168, full day booking rate.

I am a contributor of articles to a variety of fashion incubators/discussion communities.  I have a standing invitation as a freelance fashion writer.

I am collecting wardrobe to loan, friends today - collaborators tomorrow.

My modest studio and workshop with a focus on private clients is minutes from the heart of downtown Detroit and Canada’s Windsor, Ontario.  My second studio is in the suburbs of metro Detroit.

I want to make beautiful clothes and be respected as a craftsperson.  Simple.

I travel with fashion gypsies and vagabonds. Available to the highest bidder.
