Accessories – Portland
In early 2012 I was hit by a car while biking. Thankfully it was a minor accident but it got me thinking about ways I could be more seen *all around* rather than just rely on my front and rear bike lights. I began to experiment with this idea within my hobby of creating. I incorporate reflective elements into every-day accessories. Each of my reflective creations aim to promote visibility for all.
Using a unique blend of knitting, sewing and fabric stamping along with 3m reflective yarns and fabrics I create wearable reflective accessories that go from day to night for style and safety. The line was inspired for increased visibility for bicyclists and pedestrians, but of course they can be worn for any occasion! For example, I have found that my reflective accessories also glow in club/dance/festival settings! I strive to make items to be functional AND fashionable, beautiful AND safe, comfortable AND versatile. Who said being seen at night has to be a boring neon vest affair?
