I was raised by a strict but nurturing grandmother, who structured our days with academics and sewing. It wasn't until the birth of my daughter, in May of 2012, that I was ready to take my craft more seriously. Hatchers.Inc was founded 8 years ago. As a mentor, I want to inspire and help young girls flourish and grow in not only self-confidence, but in fashion knowledge.

I am a Cocktail Evening Wear Special Occasions Designer. I learned to use a sewing machine in high school--I found myself taking that course very seriously and gained a passion for the art. My talents blossomed into an emerging business in 2011. I mentor because I want to pass on information about sewing and help build confidence, neither of which were handed to me on my own journey.

I am a connoisseur of all things fashion and technology. Since I was a youth, I’ve had an undeniable affinity towards art. My elders and role models guided me in the direction of fashion. Today, I hold an unconditional love and loyalty for the art, as it helped me gain confidence and express who I am. I mentor because I want to guide fellow fashion enthusiasts on their journeys through this ever evolving fashion world.

I am an accomplished verteran Custom Designer. As a child, my dream was to be a teacher that dressed like she was on a catwalk. My desire to be affiliated with fashion and education simultaneously, has led me to working in both fields for over a decade. I mentor because I am an advocate of the advancement and nourishment of our youth and subsequent communities.

I am a Fashion Designer from Milwaukee, who moved to New York City. I've always been a lover of fashion but never knew the first step to pursuing an actual career in this industry. After working in retail for some years, I decided to start my own fashion business. I wish I had someone who looked like me, to hold me accountable and guide me through my journey, back then. I mentor because it is important to me, to be that someone for my mentees-- to motivate and lead others in the fashion world.
