I was born in a small mid-western town of Kansas, where I was raised on a large crop farm. With roots tracing back to Germany, my family found their home in these expansive plains. Throughout my childhood, love was ever-present, even amidst the changes and challenges we faced as a family. Embracing my introspective nature, I often sought the serenity of nature. On my solitary walks, I'd get lost in the details of flowers and insects. This peaceful time enriched my imagination and creativity. While articulating my emotions through words wasn't always easy for me, I found joy in expressing myself through painting and music. This creative exploration enhanced the depth of my inner world, filling it with vivid dreams and ideas. From an early age, my passion for art was undeniable. I remain deeply appreciative of those around me who supported my endeavors, and although I sometimes felt a lack of specific guidance and mentors, this journey has uniquely shaped my path as a fine artist.

During my time at Bethany College in Lindsborg KS, where I was studying classical piano and oil painting, I found the focus and style of art to be mis-aligned to my aesthetics. The professors were more focused on abstract expressionism, while I longed for a realistic approach and the beauty of Renaissance masters. This additional disconnect pushed me further away from fine art instead of bringing me closer, so I decided to pursue Fashion Design as another way to express my creativity. I had always been interested in historical costumes and textiles, especially from the 17th and 18th centuries. My journey led me to West Virginia for a costume internship with West Virginia Public Theatre, which eventually brought me to NYC. However, even though my plans to meet with the director of fashion at Liz Claiborne didn't materialize while there, I gained valuable insights into the skillsets that I needed to enter the fashion design world. I eventually found my way to Chicago, where I earned my BFA in Fashion Design at the Illinois Institute of Art.
