In 2016, I began my immersion into haute couture techniques at Atelier Des Modistes such as handcrafted lace applique and expert drapery. Post internship, I served as the assistant designer to Suzanne Hanley, the creative director and head designer. During my tenure, I had the privilege of making executive decisions on designs, fabrics, and production timelines while occasionally provided art direction and styling support focusing on accessories and jewelry. In 2017, the company led me to Paris, where I furthered my education in French embroidery at Ecole Lesage.
