This shows the process for my junior mentor project with Activision. I designed a ready to wear collection inspired by the magical creature, the Fae. I began with research of Fae in art and then moved into initial sketching and a lace fabric treatment. After feedback from my mentor I pivoted to an all purple color scheme for the final garment.Some images may be cropped. Click on an image to see the full image without cropping.

I created this look as part of a collection that was a reinterpretation of my Fae concept this time as an evening collection. Here I used the 3D clothing program CLO to render this look.

For my first senior mentor project I created an upcycled knit collection for Frame. Though this collection I focused on a fabric treatment in which I used felting on organza to blend the softness of the sweater knit with the crispness of the organza.

During my process for my sweater collection I took apart sweaters and experimented with draping.

This is my second senior mentor project with Activision. This was a team project with Skye Horton in which we worked together to design a Paris nightlife cocktail collection inspired by the Pont Alexandre III bridge. I learned to work to integrate my designs as part of a team on this collection.

Here is our selected Activision look we created for the 2026 Otis Fashion Show. It features a tailored jacket with a structured peplum, deep v, and back slit detail, along with pleated shorts. The entire outfit is made of a 100% silk heavy charmeuse that has been reinforced to hold structure.
