Welcome to The Interpreter Blog

Since a very young age, the world of fashion has called my name.  It never had to struggle to seduce me--I naturally gravitated toward it. Born into a working class family in small-town Indiana, I was never formally introduced to fashion.  However, I developed a serious love affair with the art of dressing.  As a child, I spent many a day filling my sketchbooks with glorious designs for gorgeous women.  The female form spoke volumes to me and I did nothing less than celebrate that.

With my passion for fashion design evident, a career as a designer appeared to be a suitable route.  But as I matured, I explored other talents such as writing and journalism.  I spontaneously joined my high school's newsmagazine, where I thrived and eventually became editor in chief.  My position at the helm of a publication proved to be a challenging and exciting experience.  It was my success at the magazine and natural understanding of fashion that prompted me to seek out a degree (and career) as a fashion journalist and stylist.

I am currently a student studying fashion and journalism at Columbia College Chicago.  I am the president of the Columbia College Fashion Association and I work retail part time.

The Interpreter is my newest endeavor.  I created this blog as a platform for my insight on fashion.  You will see my interpretation of fashion and style through literary pieces, runway reviews, trend reports, styling, and other tidbits.  I hope you enjoy the blog and continue to visit.
