about
As a designer, my work connects with the human experience through storytelling. Understanding shared experience has been a key point across my work as I play with the tension between individuality and collective identity, translating personal narratives into forms that resonate beyond the self.
Knitwear design and tattooing are the two practices closest to me. Both require patience and precision, qualities that continue to shape how I approach all of my work. In a predominantly digital world, I’m drawn to physical forms of making as a way to slow down and work with intention.
Tattooing has taught me a lot about patience and the value of practice. Learning how the skin takes to a needle and the value of hand poking tattoos has allowed me to grow as a designer in an immediately physical way.
Knitting has been an outlet for me over my years in university. It has been a slow, patient process to develop my knit products, but an invaluable opportunity to grow and strengthen my knowledge of patterns, garment shaping, my fiber knowledge, and the process of hand made production.
Stabs and Stitches is my online presence which I display my knitting and tattooing work as well as other projects.
