I began as an artisan hand painter and MTO designer at the New York flagship of a luxury maison when I was 22 years old. I later moved into independent work across different houses such as live painting, runway events, and special projects, before transitioning into illustration and white-label work, creating original artwork for fashion and artisan maisons that belongs solely to the houses, working on campaign art, etc. Over time, that expanded into contributing more broadly to creative direction, and more recently, leather goods design.
