Roots will be released on Friday September 2nd 2022

This design means so much to me and I hope it will to you all as well.

When I started this design I knew I wanted a half Shetland hap design because they provide me with endless inspiration, but this design changed me as a designer and a person on a foundational level. To be intentional & slow down not merely with myself but with what I release. To not only create but to do so with passion and a focus on wasting less. To use what I create with my hands. To not follow the trend of any given moment but to slow everything down. To ask myself questions: what do I need, what do I wear, what will I be proud of in years to come?

Roots were the start of all of this for me.
