About
Bringing dreams to life is what I’ve enjoyed doing for over 30 years. Whether designing a gown, managing a production line, or guiding a client through a luxury purchase, I’ve always found purpose in transforming creative ideas into meaningful experiences.
My passion lies at the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and client connection. From sketching custom apparel to overseeing every step of production, I’ve always loved the process of turning inspiration into reality—and even more so, seeing the smile on a client’s face when that vision comes to life. I thrive in environments that combine creativity, collaboration, and personal service.
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Clothing and Textiles: Design from The Ohio State University, I launched my career with a design internship at the prestigious House of Bianchi in Boston. That opportunity propelled me to New York City, where I spent the next 17 years immersed in the world of luxury bridal fashion. I worked alongside top designers like Richard Glasgow, Lazaro at JLM Couture, and Reem Acra, serving in key roles from Assistant Designer to Bridal Production Manager. These experiences shaped my deep knowledge of design, sourcing, production, buying, and brand development—both in the U.S. and European markets.
In 2009, I returned to Ohio to join my mother in running our family business, Lady M Ltd., and acquired Paper Occasions, a bridal boutique in Historic Dublin. There, I combined my love for fashion and fine paper goods to create custom wedding invitations, bridal gowns, and accessories for local brides—earning The Knot Best of Weddings award three years in a row.
Today, I continue my career in the luxury space as a Jewelry and Watch Professional at Diamond Cellar, where I work one-on-one with clients to match their style and story with timeless pieces. I take pride in building trust, delivering exceptional service, and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments with my clients.
I’ve also had the honor of serving on The Ohio State University’s Fashion and Retail Studies Advisory Board and have spoken to students about setting long-term goals, building lasting professional relationships, and staying committed to lifelong learning.
A Philosophy Rooted in Passion and Purpose
My motto has always been: Never stop learning and growing. Every stage of my career has allowed me to evolve—creatively, professionally, and personally. Whether I’m designing, managing, selling, or mentoring, I bring energy, empathy, and excellence to everything I do.
I’m proud to be a part of the Columbus, Ohio market and look forward to continuing to serve clients with integrity, enthusiasm, and style.
