I went to school at the International Fine Arts College (IFAC) in Miami, FL for fashion design. By the end of my two-year study, I learned my favorite part was fashion illustration. My least favorite part was actually constructing the garment. This design came to life during a time when I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. I lived in St. Louis, MO which has the second-largest Mardi Gras in the USA. Mardi Gras has always been my favorite adult holiday before Halloween came and took the mantle.
