ODE IS EQUAL PARTS THE EXPRESSION OF MY LOVE FOR FASHION AND THE NECESSITY FOR WELL FITTING, FUNCTIONAL PIECES THAT NOT ONLY EXCITE ME BUT SERVE ME IN MY DAY TO DAY AS A MOTHER

I HAVE BEEN AN ENTREPRENEUR IN FASHION FOR 12 YEARS; CURATING COLLECTIONS BY OTHER DESIGNERS, MY OWN OFF SHOOT LABELS, AND THE OCCASIONAL IRRESISTIBLE VINTAGE FIND.

OVER THE YEARS I DESIGNED AND OPENED 4 BOUTIQUES INCLUDING A BOUTIQUE INSIDE THE W RETREAT AND SPA VIEQUES ISLAND. THE FLAGSHIP STORE WAS IN THE BUSTLING DOWNTOWN OF ISABEL II. I RAN BOTH LOCATIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR 9 YEARS. AFTER HURRICANE MARIA IN 2017 I MOVED TO THE GREENBRIER VALLEY OF WEST VIRGINIA AND OPENED TWO MORE STORES CONSECUTIVELY. IN 2019 I CLOSED ALL BOUTIQUES TO RAISE MY SON AND CREATE

ODE TO THE ONE
