About
My Story
Coming from a long line of European multi-generational creative craftsmen, including experts in suit tailoring, dress making, and commercial knitting, I grew up with and around knitting and sewing machines of all types.
At age 14, I went to a four-year textile trade school where I learned about all aspects and processes of yarn, fabric, and textile making. At age 18, I immigrated to the U.S, where in Arizona I began my journey of becoming a professional seamstress.
​
I've had the privilege to learn from custom tailors and bridal specialists like Zizzo Tailor and Dion Custom Tailor to master the art of the perfect fit. Throughout my 30+ year journey, I've also worked at: The French Cleaners, Nick's Menswear, and David's Bridal. It's from these experiences that I've been recommended as a bridal seamstress by Strictly Weddings and Luv Bridal.
​
Along the way, I found my passion and became a master seamstress in the world of bridal and formal wear while bringing a modern approach to the age-old skill of tailoring.
