Interior Design

We create interior furniture pieces and Home Decor, prioritizing sustainable and upcycled materials, making each piece within our local ecosystems of vendors. We create stunning, one-of-a-kind designs built with integrity, for their next chapter. Each piece is made-to-order—we work with you to create bespoke pieces and partner on brand collaborations.

Made by hand, in San Francisco.

Apparel Design—

Ses Petites Mains & Girls Up Front

As a designer, I solve problems in color, fabric & shape; grounded in my desire to create pieces that endure; garments that inspire. Clothing is our “Cultural Armor”—it is not a passive act to dress oneself.

With my desire to create a greater connection to ‘How’ and ‘What’ we consume, I have created pathways for full domestic production and place vigorous attention to the materials and process that we employ in the making.

I’m proud to have built Ses Petites Mains & Girls Up Front with these ideas in mind.

Ses Petites Mains,
Tiny Chic Clothing

I founded Ses Petites Mains, Tiny Chic Clothing & served as Executive Producer and Chief Creative Officer until its sale in 2016.

“Happily Made in San Francisco”, Ses Petites Mains was my answer to classic yet modern; built-for-hand-me-downs, intentional & age-appropriate childrenswear. Domestically produced, ensuring fair labor & living wages.

Ses Petites Mains

“One of the strongest American collections.

Girls Up Front

I co-founded Girls Up Front and served as Executive Producer and Creative Director. Creating this capsule, conversational brand, Predator Not Prey, offered me the unique opportunity to use my experience as a Designer & Brand Builder to tell a much-needed story of Girls Empowerment.

“We’re making a statement about empowerment. It’s really about everyone getting in there and thinking about what we’re serving up to our kids.
”

Grange Bags

One-of-a-kind statement bags, made by hand.

Grange Bags are statement bags, bar none. One-a-of-kind, functional art that celebrates slow & transparent production where the material choices are the healthiest for our planet.

I work with local ranches, upcycle fabrics and sew it all within the Bay Area. The resulting piece is made to last; a one-of, celebrating you and the landscape from which the materials came.

Why the Grange bag? Grange Halls have been important to me for most of my life. They go way back to 1857 (pre-dating me), and were a means to encourage families to band together to promote the economic and political well-being of the community and agriculture. It sounds like a good idea, right? And very important these days, all over again. (Lesser known fact—Grange Hall was my favorite New York City restaurant back in the ‘90’s).
