Oak73 Apparel & Bags

I founded my own women's contemporary brand, Oak73, in 2012 designing two collections per year consisting of wovens, knits, sweaters and bags. I was committed to the Made in America movement and therefore produced all products domestically and responsibly. As CEO & Creative Director my responsibilities included designing the brand identity, web/digital visual & UX design, creating original textiles, sourcing materials, overseeing production, managing consultants and factories, directing and styling photo shoots, writing the business plan and securing funding from investors.
