About Me

After graduating with honors from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco in 1999, I headed to New York City to design for Mudd Jeans, where I honed my skills as a denim designer. I then took my talent and experience to Younique Clothing and continued to build my expertise in denim in all stages from design to production. While at these companies, I traveled throughout Europe researching trends and visiting factories in Hong Kong, mainland China and North America. Visiting these domestic and international garment factories opened my eyes to the destructive impact that the fashion industry has on the environment and on the people who make the clothing. In 2005, I returned to California with this new awareness and a desire to focus on a more high-end, sophisticated and eco-conscious clientele. To accomplish this goal, I started my line of premium organic denim, Del Forte Denim.
