I've always loved hats because they have the power to transform not only how we look, but how we feel. A hat can give someone confidence, mystery, elegance, joy—or simply make an ordinary day feel extraordinary.

Over the past three decades, my work has been carried by Barneys New York, commissioned by musicians including Erykah Badu, exhibited internationally, and I've had the privilege of teaching millinery at Parsons School of Design. Today I continue to create one-of-a-kind sculptural hats by hand in San Francisco, inspired by Art Deco architecture, futurism, and the natural world. Every piece is handmade using sustainable materials like fish leather, handwoven straws, wool felt, and reclaimed cashmere.
