Launched Miel Accessories in August 2001; grew distribution to over 200 retailers in major cities nationwide and internationally to Japan and Australia. It was a wild ride I served as sole designer, patter maker, sample maker, sometimes sales rep and I was the marketing department. My hard work and tenacity got me in specialty retailers like Henri Bendel and Fred Segal and also featured on the pages of WWD, Elle Accessories, Lucky, Surface and the SF Chronicle - to name a few.
