I have always loved fashion. I saw my first fashion show in Paris when I was 11 and when I was in high school, I wrote everything I wore on a calendar so I wouldn't repeat an outfit! Not much has changed! I found yoga in 2009 when I landed in LA & managed a popular yoga studio in Santa Monica. While I enjoyed practicing yoga, I was drawn to the boutique at the studio and prided myself on taking really good care of it. One day, a student left his script at the studio by accident, and it clicked to me that the entertainment industry lent itself to a casual lifestyle. I realized that Angelenos are working from home writing, learning lines, auditioning, rehearsing music & working out.

After I joined this eco-conscious & creative community of yogis, I realized that they were under served in casual lifestyle apparel that can be worn on and off the mat.
It was then that an idea was born to design a line of clothing that was fashion forward, eco-friendly, and versatile for a casual lifestyle. So I designed Soul Rx, a line of ecologically responsible & versatile clothing line made of biodegradable resources and made right here in Los Angeles.Soul Rx launched in March at The Oscar's Gifting Suites."
