History
I have always been a maker. I started my custom fashion business in my hometown, Chicago and moved to NYC to expand. It began as a small business where I made jewelry, handbags, clothing and has since expanded to all styles of footwear. All items are hand crafted in my Chicago studio using high quality ethically sourced leathers, non toxic glues, and minimal waste of materials. Everything is reused & recycled. I have now returned back to Chicago to open a new larger space to continue growing, teaching workshops, hosting events, and showcasing my work for clients. This is my main Chicago location now where you may set up an appointment for a custom fitting and learn how to make shoes in one of my fun workshops.
