I absolutely LOVE working with my hands to bring beautiful designs to life! As a small child I would sketch hundreds of dresses, wishing I had a magic wand to turn them into reality. In 2015 I had the privilege of attending the University of North Texas to receive my B.F.A. in Fashion Design, which gave me an excellent  foundation for patternmaking, garment construction, quality craftsmanship, and experience with industrial equipment. As a student intern and then as a graduate I worked for a couture designer in Dallas and gained hands on experience in the world of custom design for bridal and formalwear. I then worked for a nonprofit in Dallas equipping refugee women with vocational skills by designing, creating, and supervising the production of a women's and children's clothing line. Throughout the years following school I made custom wedding dresses for two friends as well as myself and then started getting booked for bridal alterations from home! AHEM was born out of the realization that the decrease in tailors today is resulting in an increased demand for trusted bridal tailors. Altering bridal gowns has given me even more opportunity to understand and examine many different approaches to design, construction and fabric choice. My hope is to take your vision and create beautiful custom pieces that reflect your unique style, body, and personality. In a world of AI and incredible digital technology, it is a gift to be able to work in such a tangible and physical craft. This is a special journey to embark on and I am excited to accompany you!
