While in Lexington, she became one of the founding members of an artist collective that served as platform for emerging and underrepresented fashion and textile artists from Kentucky.

In 2012, She relocated to Los Angeles where she designed for the luxury brand The Elder Statesman and after returning home to Kentucky, she continued work in collaboration with the company creating art quilts.
