How I teach
I try to create a relaxed and informal atmosphere while keeping standards high.  Draping is a classic skill which can be adapted to today's fast-paced apparel production world.  Students must master the basics before bending the rules.

Information about me
I am a patternmaker with thirty years work experience in various areas of apparel design and production. At this career stage I enjoy sharing information and passing skills along to all students who are excited about the apparel business.
