this is my truth, my happiness, and what keeps me going. dertbag saved my life.

i love going to other designers’ spaces and seeing how they work. love seeing the behind the scenes.

grateful for the atelier and all the people that come by. i’ve met so many diff people. i never had a plan. i just wanted to be me and make a shop that i would want to visit and treat anyone that stops in like their a guest in my sanctuary. a portal to somewhere else.

i’m 31 now. lived many lives. happy with the experiences i’ve had. want to have a minimal simple life. life is good. want to make my art and share it. if people resonate or support me that’s a plus.

going on 13 years at the atelier in august. 15/16 years since making my first collection. 20 years making clothing with the name dertbag
