"My company, Icelandic Ponies, specializes in bespoke, custom-made clothing and bags. I put my greatest value in creating one of a kind products that are attractive, functional and enhance people’s lives. I care deeply about the environment and my community and want to make a deeper impact by providing high quality products that bring peace and comfort to people.

I handmake one-of-a-kind hoodies, dresses, western style shirts and other clothing items. I also sew cross-body bags, purses, fanny packs and other styles of bags. In addition to making items for profit, I also make products to donate to my local community. Profit is less of a concern to me than making a positive impact on my community. I strive to make functional products that enhance people’s lives and bring them comfort during a difficult time.

While my professional career has focused on forest pathology, I have taken several years of art classes, which has helped me understand the use of color and style. I approach my clothing and bags as an art form, piecing together different colors and prints so that each piece has a unique character. By making a variety of pieces, I’m able to appeal to a large diversity of individuals. I love to make high quality, bespoke items using exceptional fabrics sourced from across the globe."
