Where clothing becomes identity.

P_Mellow-Photo-2 -small file.jpg

My work is driven by how a garment feels—both to the viewer and the person wearing it. I design with the intention to move people, creating pieces that are bold yet refined, timeless, and grounded in real wearability.

I focus on fit, proportion, and construction—how a garment lives on the body, functions in real life, and becomes something people return to. I am interested in clothing that holds presence while remaining practical—pieces that feel personal, lasting, and essential.

I bring a background in film, television, music video, and commercial, with projects including The Sex Lives of College Girls, AP Bio, and the Emmy-nominated Sylvie’s Love. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of form, fabrication, and narrative—developing concepts from initial idea through execution. Drawing from trend awareness alongside historical and contemporary fashion, I build and refine garments that shape how the body is seen, expressed, and experienced.

 With a foundation in costume design, I bring a focus on body diversity, character, and the psychological relationship people have with what they wear.  Bridging concept and reality by balancing visual impact with what people actually choose, need, and live in.
