FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I ran my own tailor shop for 20 years where we specialized in making dresses for all occasions including weddings, sweet 16s, quinceaneras, etc. Afterwards I worked as pattern maker for Andrew Marc for 2 years and the wedding department for Nordstrom for 6 years where we specialized in alterations for brides and bridesmaids. Today I am starting my own small business to provide customers with personalized assistant to make sure that their clothes fit perfectly for them.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was working as a systems analyst in the 1980s where I took a class on fashion design for fun with some friends. I realized that this was my passion and so I took the bit of money I had saved up and stared my own business. I have never looked back ever since! I love and take pride in my craft.
