I have been designing and constructing clothing and accessories for 6 years now and got my start making streetwear clothing. I was originally focused on making clothing and accessories with second-hand materials to promote sustainability.
I was then trained as a tailor and continued to do that while completing my Business Marketing degree. I learned a lot in that position and loved it.
I then worked for Loki LLC in Grand Junction Colorado where I was in charge of manufacturing and design. I made patterns and samples for outerwear and accessories, reviewed Tech Packs and pre-production samples, and conducted market research that influenced the production of future products.
I now find myself most influenced by American vintage and military clothing. I appreciate the durability and repairability of these older garments that were made to be used.
