About the Author
Focusing on high-end women’s custom apparel and then ultimately adding alterations, personal shopping, and wardrobe planning/consulting to the agenda not only allowed me to expand my clientele, but became a great source of additional income and experience. 2006 – I decided to make the move to a professional studio outside of the home. Spring of 2010, I collaborated with Michigan’s Southwest Symphony on a fashion show fundraiser event. In front of a sold out crowd, I launched my first women’s ready-to-wear line. I began selling my clothing line in my studio, online, and private trunk shows held at clients homes. My collection is now in a boutique in Saugatuck, Michigan. Recent Press
