Guiding brands in crafting future heirlooms.

My path into fashion began in an unexpected place: a cowboy boot repair shop in Texas. Watching a master craftsman restore boots taught me that design isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about durability, purpose, and care. That belief, that design should serve and endure, has guided me ever since.

Years later in Florence, I studied art history, took shoemaking classes, and trained with a textile designer who showed me how fabric could bridge art and fashion. Under her guidance, I hand-painted textiles for Gucci and Ferragamo. That was the spark that set me on this path.

After Parsons, I discovered knitwear, a discipline that blends creativity with technical rigor. I went on to design for brands like Tory Burch, La Ligne, and Anthropologie, and later became Head Designer at a sustainable womenswear brand, overseeing everything from tailored wovens to fully fashioned knits.

Through these chapters, one truth became clear: knitwear is at its best when creativity and clarity hold hands. That belief is the heart of Noles Studio.

What We Believe

Ethics are the foundation. Slow fashion is the norm, authentic sustainability is the default, and equity is centered along the value chain. We believe a better fashion system is possible when values-aligned changemakers come together for meaningful collaboration and cooperation.

We partner with founders and brands who are pushing toward a more ethical, elevated, and intentional fashion future. Sustainability is rooted in a clear point of view, intentional design, ethical sourcing, and construction built to last.

Collaboration is not outsourcing, it’s true partnership, and the best design happens in that environment.

Clarity and creativity are not opposites, they strengthen each other.
