“Growing up, I loved hanging out with my grandfather at his tailoring boutique in Solana Beach, CA. He was adored in the community and I spent weekends watching him shape the silhouettes of his clients; sculpting the fabric to lay perfectly on their unique frame. I would also frequent the fabric stores with him, where he taught me how to select the finest materials for various purposes. My grandmother was also a seamstress and both my grandparents crafted their five children’s clothing from scratch in addition to my uncle’s bespoke wedding suit. I feel so fortunate to have been enveloped in this world of fabric, colors, and self expression and look forward to using that experience to help others discover and exude their best self. ”
