I was born in the South of France to a French mother and a Sicilian immigrant father. With my father’s career in the military, we moved frequently, living in cities across France and Germany, which exposed me to a variety of cultures from an early age.
After high school, I pursued Fashion Design in Paris, where I spent a decade immersed in the city’s vibrant fashion scene. Before relocating to Los Angeles in 2013, I also had the opportunity to live and work in other major fashion capitals, including London and New York.
I am a Fashion Designer and Stylist with a diverse background in the fashion industry, having taken on roles across styling, design, and production.
After graduating from Fashion School in Paris, I worked on TV shows, magazines, fashion shows, look-books, and commercials, with my work featured in publications like Dazed & Confused, WAD Mag

After graduating from Fashion School in Paris, I worked on TV shows, magazines, fashion shows, look-books, and commercials, with my work featured in publications like Dazed & Confused, WAD Magazine, and Standard Magazine. I’ve collaborated with renowned brands such as Paul & Joe, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, and Converse.
In New York, I gained experience at D+V Management, a leading talent agency, before moving to Los Angeles, where I joined Bobo House by Eloise Lapidus.

Currently, I serve as Fashion Designer and Chief Product Officer at Oya Femtech Apparel, an athletic brand creating patented designs that promote feminine health.
Fashion has always been a profound form of expression for me—a reflection of identity and a lens through which we interpret culture, history, and individuality. It’s influenced by politics, social movements, and even global events, connecting us to the “tribes” we align with.

Fashion has always been a profound form of expression for me—a reflection of identity and a lens through which we interpret culture, history, and individuality. It’s influenced by politics, social movements, and even global events, connecting us to the “tribes” we align with.
I’m especially drawn to vintage and thrifted pieces, as they carry rich stories that add depth to personal narratives. In contrast, I’m critical of fast fashion’s fleeting nature, which often sacrifices meaning and sustainability.
To me, fashion is a sophisticated language—a tool for authenticity and self-expression, allowing us to explore and embody different facets of ourselves throughout life
I am proficient using softwares such as Photoshop, Indesign, ProCreate, ProDreams, Illustrator, IMovie, Word, Excel, Canva, Google Suite and CLO3d, Shopify,Squarespace, Shipstation..
As a Technical Designer, I make CAD and Tech Packs. I sometimes create my sketches by hand or digitally.
As I am from France, French is my first language. I speak fluently English, I do have notions in Italian and German and I am currently learning Spanish .
I graduated from L.I.S.A.A in Paris, France (L'Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués) in Fashion Major in 2005 , where I learned Fashion Design, Textiles and Pattern-Making after a Foundation year in Applied Arts.
The focus of my Major was on Design and Pattern-making.
I make first to production patterns on various styles of garment from Knits to Woven, from swimsuits to coat and jackets, from most simple t-shirt to more complex structures or draping, for kids, men, women and unisex.
Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, I became actively involved in volunteering in Skid Row. I started with a group called Monday Night Mission, then joined another organization, Down But Not Out (featured in Shoutout LA). Today, I am proud to serve as a Board Member of the "Bee a Little Better" organization. Every Thursday night, we provide food, hygiene items, clothing, tents, blankets, clean needles, Narcan, and more to support unhoused members of our community in Skid Row, Downtown LA.
I have a passion for shopping, but I’m particularly drawn to thrift stores, vintage and second-hand shops, flea markets, and upcycling brands. My love for second-hand fashion inspired me to start selling on Depop, where I enjoy sharing unique treasures with others. I’m excited to grow my Depop profile further and expand this venture in the near future, turning my passion for sustainable fashion into something even more impactful.
