SOFT GOODS ACCESSORY DEVELOPMENT
ODYSSEY UNBOUND CROSSBODY BAG
SENIOR YEAR / FALL 2024
This crossbody bag was designed for my Senior Collection, Odyssey Unbound, featuring the same utilitarian details and fabrications. While it stands on its own, it connects to the collection’s narrative of curiosity and exploration, styled over silk organza to contrast rugged energy with softness.
ACROTERIUM CLUTCH
SENIOR YEAR / SPRING 2025
This research and development project responds to the fashion industry’s sustainability crisis by tackling overproduction, waste, and harmful materials. Through circular design principles, reclaimed cotton textiles are transformed into a nonwoven, plant-based leather alternative.

LA FÊTE CHAMPÊTRE
JUNIOR YEAR / FALL 2023
ACCADEMIA ITALIANA
While studying abroad in Florence, I developed this concept project for For Love & Lemons, focusing on a handbag collection that aligns with the brand’s romantic, feminine aesthetic. Titled "La Fête Champêtre," the project is rooted in in-depth brand research and customer profiling, with designs tailored to reflect the playful sophistication of the For Love & Lemons consumer.
This project showcases my beginning-to-end design process from mood board development and trend forecasting to technical flats, material callouts, and 3D digital prototypes. "La Fête Champêtre" features aesthetic storytelling with functional design, reflecting the whimsical charm of a countryside garden party
