I lived in Southern California and the Bay area for most of my adult life and now live in Dallas Texas with my dog Bixby. My background is in Interior/Fashion Design and Photography. My bags are now in Stanley Korshak here in Dallas. I’m in the process of speaking to more retailers in hopes to have others carry my handbags.  My favorite is the clutch, each one is handcrafted by me and there are no two alike, it is a piece of art made with the finest leathers and hardware. My linings are all leather, lambskin, cow or suede. My target audience ranges from 19 years to 100 years of age. My client is one who likes to carry quality, knows that no one will ever have the exact bag as she is carrying.

I began my handbag line in January 2008, it all started when I walked into Designing Dreams, a studio where Arthur Porter makes leather goods here in Dallas. I asked him about making a sample of an idea I had and saw him making handbags. The next thing I knew I had made a handbag and took it with me to Los Angeles and everyone at Fred Segal and other stores I went to loved it. So, a handbag designer was born. Each piece is made by me, I make the pattern as I go and follow the natural lines of the leathers in most of my bags. I start with a piece of leather and each one I do is inspired by something different each day.

My greatest achievement is, when I carried one of my clutches to a fashion event and everyone loved it. I literally had tears in my eyes, as an artist it means the world to you when others appreciate what you create. By the way, the fashion event is what got my handbags into one of the most exclusive luxury stores, Stanley Korshak here in Dallas!
