The Meridian Coat
Structured wool, hand-finished seams
Cut to hold its shape long after the season ends.
Chapter III
The Designer
Each piece exists once.
I came to clothing the same way I came to everything else. Through feeling first, then form.
I make one-of-one pieces. Not collections in the traditional sense; more like a series of decisions, each one made once and then released into the world. The work is slow. The materials find me. Nothing is produced twice.
I think of it as wearable art. Clothing that has a point of view. That carries something of the place it came from. The particular warmth of a life lived between two worlds.
The Philosophy
Four principles, one practice
One of one
Nothing is produced in multiples. Every piece is made once, for one person, and then it is done.
Wearable art
Clothing that belongs in a gallery and on a body. The two are not in conflict.
Slow making
The same philosophy as the garden. No rushing. The work takes the time it takes.
Southern roots
Mississippi is in the palette. Earth tones, deep greens, the warmth of a front porch in late afternoon.

Philanthropy pieces will appear here
Made by hand
Every piece is created by me. I just feel it. Just the work, the fabric, and the time it takes to do it right.
I source materials slowly. Deadstock fabrics, natural fibers, things with a history. The making is part of the meaning.
Custom Work
I take a small number of custom commissions each year. If you have something specific in mind — a garment, a collaboration, a wearable piece for a particular occasion — I would like to hear about it.
Custom work starts with a conversation. Reach out through the contact page with your idea, your timeline, and any reference images you have.
