Design Projects
These design projects run the gamut from commissioned and consulting work to student and community engaged pieces done with my MoB Studio classes at VCU.
Clothing for conjoined twins
In the fall of 2011 I was contacted by VCU's center of Craniofacial care to work on adaptive garments for the 18 month old conjoined Sanali twins, Terese and Maria. Incredibly, in the fall of 2012, another set of similarly conjoined twins, the Jones twins were born at VCU. I created and fit patterns and samples of numerous garments and organized students in class and workshops to create finished garments for all four girls.
