“Growing up with a French mother and American father, I learned to view the world through a different lens early on in life. I think that my multi-cultural background helped create this unquenchable thirst for travel and exploration which has contributed to my constant curiosity and appreciation of beauty in its many forms. I remember spending summers in France as a young girl and being completely enthralled by the effortless beauty that was communicated through fashion. Fashion became a common thread of creative expression throughout the many cultures I've experienced from America to Europe all the way to Africa. Creating inspired imagery is a medium of trans-cultural communication for me, a form of expression in which I have found freedom.”
