DESCRIBE your journey to where you are now with your eponymous label

It was a God seed! I dreamt all of my life about being a designer. I attended college and had a brief conversation that stuck with me about the importance of beautiful undergarments. My teacher was explaining how lingerie had changed over the decades to persuade a partner that women were desirable (women are desirable in any shape and form so I thought that was silly). I felt that women needed lingerie that was first and foremost a reflection of their ideals about themselves. We are a culmination of all of the people that came before us. A powerful being that has made it! Our genes made it! And for that here we are — wrap your mind around that. We are spectacular.

I wanted to wear elegant, straight forward pieces so I sat down at my sewing machine and started sewing (I can sew!). I told my husband my plan. He believes in me so much so he helped me (his background is in marketing and he’s had his own line before). It’s funny how if you have patience all the pieces fall into place.

So I launched in March of 2015. There have been so many waves for me learning my business and how to best execute my vision with my team of 4. When I had my 3rd child in January of 2018, I suffered from postpartum depression. I felt overwhelmed. I took some time to myself. Now we are restocking the website Early 2019 and have a retailer I have admired for years selling my lingerie. I’m so excited and full of expectation. I am full of gratitude!
