Originally from Minnesota, I moved to Colorado to attend college at The University of Denver. Shortly after graduating, I started Tatterdemalion, the clothing store. We had a blast designing high-end woman's fashion however we had interior designers stopping in everyday that needed draperies and bedding for their clients. Thus Tatterdemalion Inc. was born.
In my spare time, I enjoy going to Ti Chi, riding my bike and spending time with my family. And I always love the chance to travel and see the world.

Fun, energetic and outgoing are a few words I would use to describe myself. I'm a Denver Native. Born and raised in Five Points or what is now called RiNo. I love hanging out with my friends, anything water, lake or ocean related (especially kayaking), playing tennis or going skating with my husband, dancing, yoga, hanging out with my 9 month old Pit bull named Royal & anything Interior Design related. I love high-fashion and believe the difference is in the details. I have worked at Tatterdemalion Inc. for about 20 years & I love it. There is nothing we can't do here!

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I moved to Colorado in 2017. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, but my love for textiles, design and creating made Tatterdemalion Inc a perfect fit for me. I have been sewing since I was about 10 years old and have always had a passion for bringing any ideas to life as well as being part of the production process. In my spare time I enjoy sewing, reading, cooking, hiking and just being outdoors in colorful Colorado!
I came to Tatterdemalion about 16 years ago after Pawley Co. closed their doors. I knew DiAnne and her staff through working with them as their Pawley Co. rep, where they purchased their drapery lining from. The transition was easy for me as I already had a lot of knowledge about the industry and had worked closely with Tatterdemalion for years.
As Project Manager, I take care of coordinating our installations, assisting on-site at the installations, shipping and receiving, quoting & ordering our Custom Iron Hardware and various other hardware, softgoods and yes, our drapery lining. I’ve enjoyed working at Tatterdemalion because of the family atmosphere here.
In my spare time I enjoy fishing and hanging out with family.
Born in Thailand, I came to Colorado in 1998 with my family and have lived here ever since. My mother had her own tailor and alterations shop where I would watch her work her sewing magic. I became interested in hand sewing at a young age and sewed crafts and cosplays in my spare time. I enjoy making crafts and costumes because it brings my ideas to life! I love how creative you can be with sewing, whether it be a big or small project, you can make just about anything with a needle and thread. I am passionate about self-expression, craftsmanship and creativity. I enjoy drawing digital art, taking care of my reptiles, and soaking up the sunshine here in Colorado!
