Meet Finley

(she/her)

I'm eager to work towards a sustainable fashion future together.

​

From my college days of working in a historical textile research collection and leading clothing swaps in my community, my core mission has always been to create and strengthen the purpose of pre-existing garments and textiles. Less is more, and I believe we should cherish what we already have, in an accessible and widespread way. Good style and storytelling persist.

​

​I graduated in 2025 with my B.S. in Textiles & Fashion Design, and minors in Entrepreneurship and Sustainability, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm now living and working in Brooklyn, NY. I launched my career at FABSCRAP, a non-profit aimed at tackling the fashion industry's pre-consumer waste problem, and am now working at Eva Joan repair, "mending not ending" people's beloved garments further down in the garment lifecycle.
