About

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Marni. I am a self proclaimed sewing and design nerd. I love anything to do with fabric, zippers, fabric paint, block printing.. the list goes on and on… I especially love fabric, block printing and figuring out how something was designed and sewn together.

I was a sewing late bloomer. I resisted all my Mom’s attempts to teach me how to sew and wanted nothing to do with anything “homemade”.  It was while studying abroad in Uppsala, Sweden that I became enamored with the world of design. I came home from my travels, learned how to sew and went on to get a second degree in fashion design.  After graduation, I packed up a U-Haul and moved from Toronto to New York.  My first summer I interned at Zac Posen.  I fondly call it the fashion trenches.  From there I went on to technical design in apparel and then on to footwear and product development.
