Originally from Austin, Texas, I grew up immersed in live music and the arts, which shaped my early appreciation for creativity and culture. I studied in Los Angeles, where my love for vintage clothing and marketing developed alongside a dual major in Classical Literature and Cognitive Science, giving me a unique lens on the psychology and cultural significance of fashion. I later moved to Paris to complete a Master’s in Fashion Studies at Parsons, focusing on the ethics and storytelling of luxury jewelry heritage, with a particular emphasis on Maison Cartier. Alongside my academic path, I have built a career as a luxury product photographer, specializing in capturing rare and archival fashion. My distinct eye is guided by a commitment to honoring fashion’s history while ensuring it is represented with diversity, equity, and inclusion at its core.
