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. 

Get in Touch

Reach out to Finley to explore collaboration opportunities, discuss new projects, or simply to say hello. I'd love to hear from you.

I am currently open to freelance work. Looking for a styling assistant, hand-mender, or creative workshop coordinator? Please reach out!
