Fashion has been a part of me since the time I was a child. I learned to sew at the age of 9 and it is how I have always supported myself. I paid my way through college by sewing. I lived a very colorful and exciting life doing wardrobe work and costume design for film, television and theater in NYC. In 2007, I moved from NYC to upstate NY with a desire to do my part to restore the manufacturing base to the United States. I have been working toward that goal, one stitch at a time and am passionate about fostering creativity, supporting small business and doing my part to make this world a better place.
