Inspiration:

I studied and graduated from Fashion Design at Sheridan College, I then proceeded to working in the bridal retail industry for 4 years before pursuing a career as Head Designer at Paloma Blanca. I think very few people can say that they love their jobs, I can truly say that I am one of those people. I am very passionate about my work and feel extremely fortunate and blessed to be working for a great company as Paloma Blanca. Before designing I do extensive research on top wedding gown trends for each season. The inspiration of my designs comes from many things that surround me.
