Greetings, fellow Earthlings!
I have been sculpting hats for 3 decades. I play with an organic concept of design morphed with an elegant directive from the Art Deco Era. Hand made with clean, deliberate structure and line work, my futuristic headwear is timeless.
The hats are highly versatile and can be worn a myriad of ways, depending on the wearer's mood (frontwards, backwards, or sideways). I enjoy creating sculptural headwear to decorate and protect the cranium in the form of cloches, helmets, and other fun shapes from the eco friendly materials of fish leather, handwoven straws, wool felt and upcycled wools.
Kat Von D, Erykah Badu, Neil Young, and Tom Waits have bought my hats. Also, Bjork and Nick Cave have one.
I also am a millinery instructor. I’ve taught millinery workshops all around the world, as well as for 3 1/2 years as an adjunct professor at the Parsons School of Design in New York City.
