A Bit About Me
My friends and family have always called me a creative type. Some of my earliest memories were related to me doing art projects and making drawings, which my dad still has! I received my first sewing machine from my grandmother when I was 13, and dabbled with it here and there. I began by sewing baby quilts and purses, and would make custom purses for friends. I began a sewing company called Kat Eyez Co. and began selling my sewn goods at various craft fairs around Springfield, IL, where I grew up. My baby booties became very popular and so I changed the company name to Happy Solez (like Soles of the baby booties, with a Z at the end). I participated in lots of fun craft fairs and farmer's markets, and have sold over a thousand pairs of baby booties.
During my Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree, I took lots of graphic design classes, as well as some media management classes in Grad School. I was still sewing quite a bit (full time for a while), and one day I began a Pinterest account. I gained tons of followers, and I now have the privilege of using my graphic design and marketing skills. Check out my Pinterest Page here.
I have had the privilege of working with companies like JCPenney, Betabrand, L'Oreal and Sony!!! It has been amazing, and I cannot wait to see what the future beholds :)
