IRK: Tell us your “Why” 

We deserve to make clothes, enjoy them and all while living on this Earth without contributing to its demise. Small collection actions, embracing life as an experience and living slowly truly inspired me to fuse my love for our planet and fashion together, to do better.

IRK: What are you most passionate about with respect to taking care of people and the planet? 

Fusing innovative approaches with indigenous practices, which reduce waste and increase the responsible human experience.

IRK: What are some conscious actions you implement in your daily life?

I rarely shop, and when I do, I buy secondhand or support local brands and locally made products and I also upcycle clothes and accessories – and always advocate for reimagining and reusing what already exists to reduce our waste output . I also stray away from single use plastics.

IRK: What’s your hope for the future of the planet? 

Slow, regenerative and calculated steps towards a future that does not deplete natural resources and mistreats the people.
