| Introduction | I am a freelance menswear designer based in San Francisco, California. My schooling and training were acquired from The Art Institute in Dallas where I earned a degree in Womenswear and from The Academy of Art in San Francisco, where I earned a second degree in Menswear. Along the way, I have designed and constructed show gowns for drag queens, tailored suits and sportswear for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and designed collections for a small start-up company. The best education I received was right here in my shop creating shirt after shirt relentlessly. I believe in the drape technique but have faith in flat patterns. I love a good pair of shears but loathe pins that bend. I swear by the industrial iron just not the industry. I believe in closures but not the invisible ones. I have a fetish for great lighting and a good light when I'm done. I love a good tailors chalk but hate when it breaks apart. Sharp pencils good, dull pencils bad. Most of all, I believe in the struggle. Respect it. |
