I'm an internationally trained couture embroidery artist located right here in Texas. Everything that leaves my studio is handmade right here. My passion is bridal accessories and special occasion gowns. I've designed for all types of clients. I've done everything from teaching basic hand embroidery to intense workshops at private European ateliers.
Let's work together! I work with individuals, designers and brand owners to make beautiful bespoke embroideries for you. I don't do pattern making or garment construction, so if you're looking for a fully embroidered garment, you'll need to get a fashion designer involved too. Contact me and we can get started on your couture dreams.
