Born in Princeton NJ, raised in Stanford CA. I come from a family of math professors and decided to do something completely different. I inherited a creative gene from my mom who made a living out of photography. After getting my bachelors in economics from UCSC, I relocated to Italy to get my Masters in tailored clothing design from Ermenegildo Zegna’s program at Istituto Marangoni Milano. I ended up moving to New York for 7 years to expand my scope in design, working for a variety of brands both casual and formal. From this I found that taking the best elements from every brand to shape my own aesthetic has defined my perspective on how Menswear is a lifestyle and not a label.
