I was trained on Broadway through the traditional apprenticeship model, and I have created an apprenticeship-based atelier in Bespoke. The methods that were passed on to me by the masters under whom I studied are taught to my apprentices. I combine old school tradition and commercial sewing techniques to make custom fit clothing for women and men in a collaborative process that puts the customer’s needs before the design.
