Currently Design & Development Coordinator at Frankies Bikinis

Design is my escape, my journey into realms beyond the ordinary. In the throes of creation, I shed the confines of my surroundings – no longer tethered to the quaint streets of Napa or the bustling shores of Manhattan Beach. Instead, I morph into the embodiment of enigmatic sophistication. Design envelops my existence, shrouding the mundane in a cloak of possibility, casting a spotlight on the untapped potential of tomorrow. In its embrace, I am not merely crafting garments; I am sculpting identities.  I strive to breathe life into the elusive woman who resides within my imagination, beckoning her from the shadows into reality.
