About

I am a very experienced Costume and Haute Couture designer. Much of my work has been Bridal and evening wear but my passion is Period and Fantasy costume. I love working with silks and all types of mixed media, working with fabrics alone is not exciting enough, so are many manufactured trims and applique's, which is why I design my own computerized embroidery motifs so I can create my own trims and embellished fabrics. All the beading you see is done by hand or Tambour method and I do my own leather work as well. I live for designing and creating, and my life is neither happy nor complete without doing so. Please enjoy my galleries and hover over each photo for a brief description of it.
