Feeling pretty professional today! New signage so you can actually find me 😂

But in all seriousness, this is another one of those steps where I have to pinch myself, because I sometimes feel like this can’t be real! I can’t believe I get to do something I love so much everyday, that I get to create & work with my hands, that I get to give well loved garments new life. That you trust me & see my work as worthwhile. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

look how big it is! Thank you for knowing me so well & capturing my essence in the the perfect branding 🖤

30. You are not what I expected nor imagined, but better than I could have dreamed. Having your birthday during a pandemic/protesting/riot season with a curfew doesn’t seem like the ingredients for a good birthday, but I have been overwhelmed and felt so loved by all the amazing people in my life! Thank you for the wishes! Hopefully 2020 only gets better?
