About
I have spent more than two decades inside fashion, food, and lifestyle brands. Across all of it, one instinct stayed constant. I could sense what was emotionally or atmospherically absent in a space or an industry, and I could not rest until I had built the conditions for it to live.
MONORÉ is where that instinct finally has a home. It is the practice I was quietly preparing for the whole time, even when I was making other things.
Where it begins
I was raised in a meditation community, where the relationship between environment and inner state was never abstract. I grew up understanding, in my body, how a room can settle the nervous system or quietly unsettle it.
That sensitivity is the foundation of this work. It is also what I look for in the people I work with. If you feel your surroundings deeply, you already understand what MONORÉ is for.
The through-line
Each role taught me to read a different language of feeling, in cloth, in light, in the way a space invites a body to arrive. A selection of the work that shaped this practice:
Founded sustainable yoga and activewear brands in the early 2000s, before the industry had language for it.
Design Director in the early chapter, inventing the jogger scrub and helping shape the brand's design DNA.
Led women's active for a brand at national scale.
Directed design, including styling a Mira building penthouse featured in Architectural Digest.
Led the U.S. rebrand and launch of OmniFoods, and guided Boldly Foods into the U.S. market.
Founded Devala, sustainable yoga and activewear in hand-marbled textiles, and Bhavani Collective, hand-dyed kimonos and caftans made by women artisans.
My work has always been to sense what is absent, and build the conditions for it to live.
