As a kid, I got to play dress-up with real clothes. Living in Asia, our local sewist turned fabric into magic outfits.  The colors, the textures, the bell-bottoms! Wearing them was such fun. In a way, they gave me a voice & a sense of myself.

​

However, in the mid-1970s, my family moved to Texas. Bold flair wasn't quite as welcome there. So I pulled on some jeans. I wore a belt with my name tooled on the back. I learned that clothing could protect, or reveal, who we are.

​

Later, my career as an executive coach taught me something vital. People need permission to live out loud. To show up fully. To experience life as play.

​

The Ruckus Studio is where those two threads of my life meet: the early delight of expressive clothes and my work of helping people step into their true selves.

 

The garments I make are meant to inspire ease, playful vibes, and engagement.  Each piece is a wearable spark of energy. A little extra oomph to support you & your twirl-worthy life.
