Sustainable Fashion Designer | Love Warrior | Your Sunshine Girl Next Door

Once upon a time, I believed love would be as easy as putting on my favorite vintage dress - easy, soft and built to last. Life, however, had a different plan! 🌪️💔

I met him in a thrift store (of all places). His hands worn from strumming guitar strings and his smile crooked in a way that made my heart do somersaults. We connected over upcycled denim and late-night conversations about how to save the planet. For a while, we were perfect - like a happy, hand-stitched seam... strong and beautiful. But eventually, the thread began to unravel. He called my passion for sustainability "too much," while crushing my dreams of changing the fashion industry claiming they were "unrealistic." The guy that called me his "eco-warrior goddess" rolled his eyes while I talked about carbon footprints. 😔

I stayed too long - stitching myself to a relationship that was coming apart at the seams. When I finally left, I gathered the pieces of my heart and made them into something new. I began to design bolder, and my voice grew louder. I realized that love should not make you smaller, it should make you bloom (like organic cotton in the sun). 🌸

Now, my designs tell stories. Stories of resilience, stories of second chances, and stories of love that did not break me but made me. And yes, I still believe in love. Maybe not fairy-tale love but still messy, real, sustainable love that doesn't cost the earth. 💚

Are you in? Let's write a new narrative together, one stitch and story at a time. ✂️🧵
