What Binds Me- Senior Thesis Collection 

What Binds Me is a collection rooted in personal history. Born in the Midwest and raised around horses, I wanted to pay homage to my upbringing with a futuristic approach and an exploration of the meaning behind “what binds me.” Designed for the modern woman who seeks to balance the threads of her past, present, and future, the collection uses strings as a defining feature—symbolizing connection, grounding, and the forces that shape identity. The line “What binds me, what grounds me, what makes me” is woven into the very being of each piece, reflecting a journey of growth and self-discovery that binds us all.
