The Rise and Fall is a small home accessories and apparel design studio   centered around in-house production of simple graphic items.  My main contribution to The Rise and Fall consists of cutting and sewing all in-house made products. On occasion, I have the opportunity to bring new designs to the table. Screen printed felt pennants are the products I provided the most designs for in an attempt to expand their wall art line.

Willis & Bell is an online venue for creating simple and highly functional men’s and women’s clothing. This is a personal exploration of modern day wear. Every garment is crafted from the initial sketch through to the pattern or drape, ending with a one of a kind handmade item. Great care and attention to detail go into the making of each piece.  willisandbell.com

Morris is a small fall/winter collection that compares texture and shape by taking traditional garments and warps them into forms influenced by the bending of wood.   Various principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement combined with the concept of bending wood provide inspiration in creating the individual structures. This collection concentrates on quality and delves into techniques including laser cutting and machine knitting.

Logger is a brief look at menswear inspired by the relaxed individualistic style worn by lumberjacks in the early 1900's.  The looks in this collection experiment with highly functional and extremely casual garments that are intended to be mixed and matched. They play with the idea of bright linings, pop of color buttonholes, and implementing topstitching as a way to change the physical appearance of the fabric.
