About

A Florida native and a graduate of the Savanah College of Art and Design, I am a Tampa based apparel designer, and entreprenuer. I have been working as a designer in various aspects of the garment design field since graduation from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2009. My design esthetic is greatly influenced by vintage fashion and my Florida roots.

Of note, I formed Spool Studio LLC in 2015 as an online fabric retailer which lead to the opening of my brick-and-mortar storefront in Tampa, FL. Here I started by selling fabrics and notions, but soon expanded my offerings to include sewing instruction and classes, as well as custom garment design services. 

In 2020 I began a new business venture, ReddyWear LLC; a small-batch, mid-century inspired clothing line, featuring my own original designs, which I continue to work at growing. 

In addition to my own campanies, my professional experience includes currently working as a wardrobe assistant on commercial shoots with various production companies, and as an adjunct costumer for Norwegian Cruiselines Creative Center.

Past creative endeavors include expericence in theater, patterning and constructing costumes in association with Hillsborough Community College and as a part-time designer for Dorothy Zudora.
