A creator. An educator. A dreamer.
Meet Abby.
Originally from a small town on the upstate New York and Ontario border, nature and culture has been one of the biggest influences in my life. Growing up nestled between the Adirondack Mountains and the St. Lawrence River, there was always endless inspiration and beauty around every corner.
Attending Pratt Institute and Virginia Commonwealth University for fine arts, and the University of Delaware for a BS in Apparel Design and a Master of Science with a concentration in visual and tactile aesthetics; artistry, textiles, and all forms of design have held constant in my career and personal life.
Early in my career, I had the tremendous opportunity to teach apparel design and illustration courses through my graduate program at the University of Delaware. Coming from a long line of educators - a dream of wanting to share with others the gift of art came alive. But isn’t funny how life works out sometimes? Years later, I am finding out that artistry and design can be found in almost all aspects of my career and personal life. I have spent time as an instructor, a freelance artist, a design assistant, and a personal stylist. I have become an expert in the e-commerce world; diving into OMNI channels, supply chain, quality control, and operations. If you're looking for an eager designer that can tackle anything from marketing to digital CAD, look no further! Design will always be a part of my personal life, and I hope I am oh so lucky enough to continue having it as a part of my career as well.
Make it aesthetically pleasing.
If there is one thing about my work that makes it different from the rest, it is that there is a heavy focus on the small details. The craftsmanship and execution of my work is nearly flawless. With special attention to data, aesthetics, visually appealing themes, and perfect organization - my work stands out in a crowd. I will always go over and beyond to perfect my craft.
There has always been a need for perfection and capturing the “real'“ in all of my designs. Through my years of fine arts training, illustration, digital design, apparel construction, technical pattern-making, and product design, my expertise covers a wide range of artistic and creative mediums.
As a seasoned artist, creator, and educator, and apparel professional, I strive through my personal work and career to create a world that is more aesthetically pleasing and innovative (while of course maintaining my obsession with accuracy and organization).
