Lily McCarthy

Accessory Designer

Savannah, GA, USA
Though accessory design began as an accidental passion, it has been the strongest influence to me as a designer. Studying as a textile designer before changing my focus to accessory design, I gained an unique perspective and vision within my field. I enjoy developing innovative textile and leather manipulations through the combination of different and unexpected materials. My experimentation process is detail oriented which gives my products an exceptional level of craftsmanship and functionality.
