A fixture in Michigan’s fashion industry, I’ve served as a fashion journalist, editor, stylist and nonprofit founder. As editor of StyleLine, metro Detroit’s largest magazine, I covered fashion, beauty and home design for over a decade, and was a regular media contributor on Detroit’s top news stations.
In 2012, I founded Detroit Garment Group, a fashion nonprofit that ran a decade of workforce and industry development programs, including Michigan’s first industrial sewing certification. In 2015, I launched Detroit Sewn, a full-service factory dedicated to Made-in-USA manufacturing.
The factory remained open for more than eight years until I was ultimately forced to shut it down.
I’m the author of Split in Two (Zest Books, 2009) and I Do, Part 2 (Norlights Press, 2011), and my writing has appeared in Women’s Health, Self, HuffPost, Figure, and The Detroit News. I’ve given a TEDxDetroit talk titled “Fashion Unfurled: The Industry No One Associates with Michigan”.
