| Where are you from originally, and what brought you to Charleston?
I’m one of the rare breeds who was born and raised in Charleston. When I was 18, I moved up to NYC and spent about a decade there, and then came back home to Charleston!
What were you doing before joining Hampden?
My first life was doing musical theatre in New York. That career kind of organically transitioned to fashion and retail, first at Cynthia Rowley, and then I spent 6 years at Candlefish (right down the block from us) and eventually found myself at Hampden!
What drew you to Hampden — and what are you most excited about in your new role?
There really isn’t anything like Hampden in Charleston. For people who love fashion, it feels like the ultimate place to be. The range of designers is unmatched, and the curated assortment is really special.
How would you describe your personal style in three words?
Effortless, playful, classic.
What’s your go-to outfit that never fails you?
I’m a jumpsuit girlie. Give me an oversized jumpsuit and I’m happy.
Who is your ultimate style icon?
This is hard. I’m gonna go with Alexa Chung. She’s just so cool and fun and easy!!!
