He has worked along side prestigious collaborations with costume designer Sandy Powell, academic Emmanuelle Dirix and esteemed fashion designers such as Sarah Dallas, Erika Knight and Sid Bryan. His master's thesis was a suffusion of knitwear, exuberant craftsmanship and a dose of political and cultural satire. He currently resides in Victoria, British Columbia.
