I interned in New York City with Nanette Lepore.

I have been learning the ins & outs of the garment district and how a major label operates. Working on the Spring 2011 show was incredible- and I am continuing to enjoy my experience with this company!

Internship with Linda Asaf Design in Austin, Tx

During my internship with Linda Asaf Design, I was able to influence design decisions while also altering patterns and embellishments for couture garments.

This summer I was responsible for getting three runway looks, for our show in June, from concept to production. Some I draped myself and others I adapted from existing patterns or made them from scratch to fit the model's measurements .

I also had the opportunity to cut and sew the garments myself (or bundle for a seamstress with a sew guide) .

It was an amazing opportunity and I learned so much about managing the time line of a show piece.
