Do you love, love, LOVE, love, love FASHION ART AND FASHION DESIGN?
…and you feel like you can’t draw? And sketching your concepts MATTERS TO YOU as a tool for design communication and exploration?
I warmly welcome fashion-loving creatives in to this space to unwind and unfurl your wings to fly. To immerse yourself and take ownership of your understanding of fashion design and what it means to you.
Drawing is a creative tool. Drawing is an expression. Drawing is a technical language and also an emotional language. Drawing is play, drawing is work, drawing is translation.
No matter what direction fashion moves in in this pivotal time in history, here we are of the belief that DRAWING, handwork, and craft is integral to our making and experience in fashion design and fashion illustration.
Some of you are already working designers. Some of you are novices or amateurs (“lovers”). Some of you want to create, others want to curate, celebrate, or write aboutj/ research/ discuss fashion and design. I’ve even taught fashion design to fashion marketing students – beginners are some of my favorite students because they are so open to trying new things.
Fashion, style, and adornment invite and inspire you, fanning your inner fire, find and refine your voice and style, through skills, processes and techniques, AND LOOSEN UP if that’s what’s needed (more often than not, that’s what’s needed!-) I can help.
Here is where you can sharpen your professional fashion art and design skills in fashion design online programs I’ve infused with raw heart, freedom, intuition, deliberate intention, personal motivation, and a sense of adventure.

There is nothing in the world like feeling the world of art and design open up in your hands, heart and soul as your journey unfolds and your creative voice starts to sing, at first so softly,
