I make quality handmade hats that stand out as unique sculptural wearable art. Every hat is made with the finest materials and no two hats are ever created the same. I brand and burn symbols and images that inspire the mythology of the person wearing the hat. Using handmade objects made with precious metals and other symbolic talisman that match the theme that is then weaved into the millinery concept. I’m focused on creating designs that start trends and influence the way we view headwear.
I understood from an early age, that my true passion was for the arts. My grandmother taught me to paint at a young age, and at 14 I bought my first camera. I pursued a BA in photography and have worked as a photographer for most of my adult life, and began jewelry making later in my career. Then I discovered the art of millinery, it connected me to my childhood and sparked a creative curiosity in me that I felt obliged to follow through with. I quickly took millinery classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology and founded my own hat making studio in New York’s East Village.
