I am an artist and designer currently based in Seattle, WA.

I have some exciting opportunities happening now through 2023 (and beyond) including:

• Selling children's and adult clothing and accessories in my family's new community and retail space starting August 21st, 2021. This opportunity will allow me to financially support myself and my family.

• Having a pop-up in Portland, OR with my adult clothing and accessory line.

• Exhibiting artwork in 2023 with King Street Station. This opportunity will allow me to create larger works than I have ever been able to create in terms of scale and resources.

• Getting my clothing online as a personal goal, but also as a financial opportunity

I am fundraising to pay folks to help me with production over the next several months. Being able to pay for support will allow me to increase my inventory while investing in other designers and artists. The goal is that with the income generated from sales, I will be able to continue to pay folks to support my endeavors.

Financial Breakdown:

6,400 would allow me to pay 2 people for 2 months for part-time work.

1,000 would allow me to pay 1-2 people for project based textile support needed for accessory production.

152 in transaction fees. Gofundme charges a 1.9% fee ($140) plus 30 cents on each donation. I am estimating there will be about 40 donations ($12).
