  • Founder 's Story
I am grounded in ethics, innovation and curiosity. I rely on my experience and intuition to identify new ways I can push the boundaries of 3D apparel. I am eager for clients and consumers to experience fashion in new and interactive ways, and I love creating products that have a positive impact on the environment and businesses. Throughout my fashion apparel career, I have strived to be nimble and innovative, and align my personal values with my professional goals. I have learned fashion technique and strategy, and have refined my 3D design expertise along the way. I have even experienced legacy processes and organizational constraints that at times made me less productive, yet enlightened me on what I would improve in the future. When I first started working in the fashion industry, I wanted to address waste. I knew it was common practice for organizations to produce multiple physical samples, revise them and develop final designs for mass production; I wanted to change that. It makes perfect sense that my new business venture focuses on sustainability.
