Every collection begins with abundant research, drawing from a wide variety of inspiration.
Step 1. Start with a story.
Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs by putting pencil to paper. Each design stems from her original hand-drawn illustrations.
Step 2. Drawing to Digital.
Stephanie then scans her original drawing, creating a digital file. She redraws the design, stitch by stitch, using specialized software.
Step 3. Bring it to life.
Stephanie prototypes the piece on her embroidery machine in her Wyoming studio. The machine stitches one color at a time and requires manual thread changes.
Step 4. Made for you.
After the prototype is finalized and all colors are selected, the completed design is machine embroidered by our partners in India. The large scale embroidery machines make it possible for us to scale Stephanie's creative process with the flexibility of small production runs.
Step 5. Stitch it up.
Sewing is the final step of our production process. Our partners in India embrace our own company standards, maintaining quality working conditions with fair wages and benefits.
