After completing my studies in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, I decided to return to Buffalo. However, I encountered difficulties starting a fashion career in Buffalo that would allow me to utilize my fashion design degree. Drawing from my upbringing which was heavily focused in real estate, I instinctively entered into the field, but I’ve always maintained the creative spirit to design, sew, express myself through fashion and celebrate style. 

The birth of fig™ has been a catalyst to re-energize my creative pursuits and inspired me to contribute to Buffalo's fashion scene. Over the years, I have cultivated relationships with fellow artists, event visionaries, and fashion designers who share the same passion.  I launched an intimate wear collection at fig™ 2023 called SCOTT free. 

The fig™ team's synergy, combined with the energy of other pop-up fashion events, is set to ignite a fashion movement in Buffalo that we have all been eagerly anticipating. Together, we are poised to celebrate style, cultivate a vibrant fashion community, and shape Buffalo's future in the world of fashion.
