who are they
A multideciplinary designer and creative with bold, unrealistic dreams.
the MISSION
My mission is to create genderless wearable art for inspiring people; including those with disabilities, marginalized groups, and the LGBTQ+ community. I aim to produce these pieces in a way that protects human rights in the fashion supply chain and values natural preservation and environmental restoration.
the designer
My career in fashion started 10 years ago when I began copywriting and web design for fun. At the time, I knew nothing of sustainability and ethics, and was solely inspired by how fashion can be a gateway to expression.
A year after I started, it hit me. While shopping for my next fast-fashion fit, I saw the back room of a major fast-fashion retailer. Thousands of garments spilling from the floors and shelves, making it barely possible to walk. “That’s a lot of clothes, yet the racks are always full… Where do the unsold goods go? What about the returns?” This thought rang in my head for weeks and sparked a depth of curiosity that catapulted me into what has now become my life’s work and career. I wanted to understand how brands get in our heads and live there rent-free without making us question their decisions so I earned an Associate Degree in Marketing & Comms, Sustainable Business Strategy Certificate at Harvard Business School, and took a myriad of courses within the ethics, supply chain, and environmental justice sectors in fashion to deeply understand the problems and find solutions. In 2021, after a year of spearheading the marketing efforts at a fabric wholesale company, I dove head first into self-employment and created Naturspired® Media Inc., and The Naturspired® Podcast, where I interview sustainability leaders and discuss important topics that require attention.
Towards the end of 2022, I finally began designing garments in my free time. My beliefs were strongly routed in not creating a single garment until I could do it ethically.
I am currently aspiring to further my career within the campaigning, research/policy or communications sectors in fashion with a company that sees a vision for a brighter future. Is this you? Email me. I’d love to chat.
On the garment construction side, I design genderless and inclusive pieces that tell a story and highlight the best in its wearer. Is that you? Purchase from my Made to Order Catalog or contact me to commission a custom piece. :)
