Sewing, sketching, organizing and singing
I have always loved investing my time in sketching my ideas. Whether it be a period piece or a modern red carpet look. This coincides with my love of sewing by creating the design I put down on paper. Bringing the piece to life by using different sewing techniques and material. Organizing has a great deal of importance to me. It's something I can do to clear the mind and just focus on the task at hand. I've received 10 years of singing training and it has become a stable in my everyday life. It's a passion I can simply not life without and is one of my greatest hobbies.
