Hello outdoor enthusiasts! I have been an avid member of the outdoor community for years and I’m here to help with all your gear repair and construction needs. I know as well as anyone, we all have well loved and sentimental items that aren't quite ready to retire. We love to reduce waste and rework the items we have. Our wallets thank us for the price of repair over the price of brand new gear. I’m sure we have all noticed the quality of our gear diminish over the years, sometimes wearing out after only a few uses. We love to support a person over a corporation. We all love our personal style and want a way to make our individuality shine through.


Well…maybe we can help each other.

In my 30+ years of personal and professional sewing experience I have yet to encounter a gear repair or gear build challenge that I can not complete. I began sewing as an infant on my mother’s lap, my hand on her hands as the machine whirred away consuming the fabric we pushed in. These are some of my earliest memories and in them, she taught me everything she knew. By the time I was 2 or 3 years old, I independently began creating and sewing my own custom doll and Barbie looks. In elementary school I was designing outfits and gear for my class portraits and winning every local 4-H competition I entered with the things I made.In high school I was thrifting and altering anything I could get my hands on. Sewing is near and dear to my heart, it is something I have never stopped doing since I first learned. I have done everything from working as a professional sewer for several well known companies to designing personal looks and creating gear for people in their individual pursuits. I have found that above all, I love gear revival the most. Not only do I get to use my creativity to work something old into something more purposeful, I also get to use materials that already exist by reclaiming items to give them new life instead of just buying something from the store.

I have special insight into the outdoor world because I have spent years working as a technical alpine/ski guide. I guide backpacking trips, take people to the tippy tops of mountains, guide technical alpine terrain, and lead people on epic ski adventures, over glaciers, and down steep couloirs. Long before my professional involvement in the outdoor industry, I completed the Triple Crown of backpacking, I have hiked over 20,000 miles to date, climbed many class five alpine ascents and classic traverses, skied every volcanic peak in the Cascades and many in the Chilean Ring of Fire, and accomplished several alpine ski traverses. I know how hard I can be on my own gear, so it begs the question - who else is in my trail runners, ski boots, or climbing shoes?
