I learned the value of hard work from my parents. They both own, or have owned (one is retired now) a business and worked hard to keep everything running as smooth as possible. At a young age, I enjoyed the thought of being one’s own boss. As a result, the idea of building my own business was inevitable.
Moving to Los Angeles after high school was an eye opener. Finishing college in SoCal, working major-related jobs and internships, I became comfortable with my craft: Fashion Design. The idea of producing my own collection was causing my fingers to itch for my pencil and sketchpad.
Last summer the design concept hit me that would set in motion the silhouettes I would sketch. After working for other designers for a while, I discovered that some knew how to run a business when others didn’t have the faintest clue. I also found that I was becoming confident in my design idea…enough to want to share it with other women in the world that have the fitting problems that I do. I could make this work if I choose to try my absolute best.
I have been refining my design idea since it hit me last summer while walking the Venice Beach Boardwalk. My business plan is being written as you read this. I’m also a short time away from beginning my trademark paperwork. Next? An ecommerce website and all details entailed.
As soon as trademark and copyrights are secure, I can’t wait to share more! I’ll also be getting into my design process, my target customer, a launch date, and of course I’ll include what’s driving me up-the-wall!
