For most of my life I was just like everyone else, working to pay the bills. I had the usual office job. Although throughout high school I wanted something completely different. I was known as the "bag lady" growing up. I saved everything! I loved being creative and thinking outside of the box. I started recycling old clothes and creating new hip pieces of clothing from old unwearable ones. After graduating I spent one year working day and night to save up as much money as I could to travel across the country to Las Angeles, CA to pursue my dreams of becoming a fashion designer. After some time I realized this just wasn't for me. Being very family oriented I couldn't be so far from my family missing out on precious time with them. Upon moving back home I started all over again and this time I pursued Interior design. I have always had a creative nature. I got my normal office job while going to school. I started doing really well and before I knew it I was being promoted and given raises, and soon enough 6 years had pasted and school took a back burner. Although I never gave up on my creative nature I spent all my free time working on refurbishing furniture. I loved how I was able to create new things from old useless items. Well, long story short I wasn't happy. Sitting behind a desk everyday just didn't suit me. I found myself daydreaming more and more of my new creations. Taking one giant leap of faith I ended up here! I have spent over 10 years working on my business "Unusual Fit" as a hobby and know it's my full time job! Every day I go to bed and wake up feeling happy and fulfilled. By all means it is certainly not all fairytales! It is in fact the most difficult and exhausting venture I have ever pursued. BUT I wouldn't change it for the world.
