Our founder, Kristin, was born and raised in upstate NY. From a young age she discovered her love for creating, often spending long summer days crafting clothes on her grandmothers' vintage Singer sewing machine. Those summer days invoked a passion in her that has driven her ever since.

Kristin went on to pursue her dreams at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, where she graduated with a degree in fashion design. Her career began with several private label designers, as well as a corporate label company. However, as time passed, she found herself disillusioned with the corporate fashion world, prompting her to a slow-down in life.

In 2007, she moved to Costa Rica in pursuit of new interests, a simpler living. The culture, nature and beauty of Costa Rica reignited her creative spirit, reminiscent of those nostalgic summer days spent at grandma's. This was a place where she could once again embrace her joy for creating.

While NY will forever be in her heart - the birthplace of her passion for art and clothing - she now calls Costa Rica her home. Under its' magic sun, she thrives alongside her beautiful family and friends, creating and collecting beautiful pieces along the way.
