Ode to Intention 

I designed, prepared the textiles, constructed the garments and photographed this body of work. Inspired by sustainable textile practices, I used second hand materials such as salvaged denim and paint to create "one-of-a-kind" textiles. I created this collection to highlight discarded materials in the realm of fashion. My sustainable designs seek to challenge the conventional notions of modern fast fashion.
