It started long before I even knew what I was building.

I grew up surrounded by people who made things.

My grandmother had a clothing store in the mall.

When I was really little, I would sit with her while she worked.

I remember her shortening hems while perched on a tall wooden stool.

The dressing room curtains were this soft peach color that stayed with me.

My mom sewed too.

She made all of my Halloween costumes

and was often working on a creative textile project.

My grandfather was an artist.

My dad built machinery.

My grandmother loved needlepoint

and had a drawer full of colorful scarves I was always digging through.

I was always drawn to color.

I spent hours drawing with markers,

experimenting and making patterns just to see what would happen.

I also studied dance for many years,

including African dance.

That sense of movement,

how something flows on the body,

has stayed with me in everything I make.

Eventually, I studied textile design,

started making my own clothes,

and later co-founded Moon Tide Dyers.

After many years,

I felt pulled to create something more personal.

Today, each piece is made by hand in small batches.

I use color, movement, and fabric

in a way that feels natural and easy to wear.

To create clothing that feels good the moment you put it on,

and becomes something you reach for again and again.
