Why did you turn to your handmade craft and business?
I work full time in the fashion industry and needed my own creative outlet. I LOVE to design and make things. I have always been into the arts; I learned from both of my grandmothers and mother how to sew, knit, beadwork and everything else in between. I went to school for fashion design and decided to start with something small and grow from it organically. I want to add other things to my shop but slowly and not in excess.
What inspires your craft?
I find inspiration everywhere but what inspire me most are nature and the ocean. If I am ever in a creative rut, I turn to the fine arts and go to any art shows or galleries near me to clear my mind. I have learned that everyone has his or her own style, even if we all made the same thing. I want to stay true to my taste and style the best I can.
