I have designed for over 25 years in the fashion world, creating my own clothingline and owned my own retail store in Montreal, and have dedicated the last 5 years in leather goods.

The style of my work could be called contemporary modern with a mind to the practical – for example, all of my bags have a cellular phone pocket, and inside zipped pocket.

I do all of the work myself in my home studio. I create the design, make the pattern by hand, cut the leather from the pattern, sew the pieces together (by hand or using my own sewing machines), and finish the edges by hand.
