I grew up on a farm in Mars, PA, a small town north of Pittsburgh. In 2010, I moved to New York City to attend Parson the New School for Design and graduated with honors four years later with in BFA in Fashion Design focusing on womenswear. I co-founded a womenswear company called SCAPES in 2015 with my creative partner and collaborator Andie Enomoto. Together we conceptualize, create, and deliver products, media and events centered around our company and woman.

 

In addition to starting SCAPES, I simultaneously began to tattoo professionally. I tattoo under the name TKBK and have organically grown a community of clients with a global reach.

​

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, working out, supporting friends, going to galleries and museums, creating personal projects, decorating my home with plants and spending time with my family.
