I was raised by a creative, loving grandmother, that some might call a bit of a hoarder, but that also provided me with a seemingly endless avenue to learn to paint and sew with any color and or texture you could think of. Her creativity and inspiration drew me to become the leader and explorer am I today. Wapato, Crow Butte, Chinook Pass, Renton, Bellevue, Redmod, Kenmore and now Portland are all places I’ve called home. It’s safe to say I’m a grown in the PNW girl!

          One of the values I hold closest to my heart is of mind and body, health and fitness. I've been so lucky to have seen many places around the world and met so many great souls, and always look to find the joy, humor, and excitement in everything I do. 

          I've realized my deep love for the relationship between fashion, art and outdoor recreation over the years. Getting to see the excitement and inspiration it can bring to people at any age is such a driving force. As I learn from everyone around me, I continue to search for the best ways to help improve and develop new exciting textiles, apparel and accessories to help people explore and enjoy life the way everyone deserves to.
