Brand/Company:
Out of Twig
Tell us about your creative background.
I
received my degree in Visual Communication Arts, with an emphasis on
graphic design and studio art. I have also had a passion for photography
since before attaining my degree, and still very much enjoy it. Mixing
photography, graphic design, and styling (fashion) has been very
rewarding for me.
How did you end up doing what you do now?
The
idea for Out of Twig began when I was thrift-shopping for some outfits
to use in styling photo shoots. I really enjoy going to estate sales and
antique shops anyway, once I began looking for these items I quickly
gathered a collection of vintage dresses, shoes, and more. I decided to
take pictures of the items and then sell them online. Eventually I graduated to
having a store-front for nearly a year. I was open 3 days a week
and people could come shop. It was a lot of fun! Now, I am excited to
work with Pastiche at Main, where items I find are available for
purchase! It's such a lovely downtown store and I'm very happy to share
their space!
