When I went to my first factory as a design assistant, I saw the whirring machinery in a dance with yarns, and I found my voice. I have always been a maker of sorts, attracted to things with stories behind them- bric-a-brac, vintage dresses, old magazines, and jewelry. Textile art and design attracts me because it’s hands-on and has a tradition. Between my “maker parties” at my design studio and teaching Trim Alchemy at the Country Living Fairs, seeing what others create, very differently than me, inspires me greatly. I am inspired by creativity in general, how people express themselves uniquely through art, writing, music, dance, cooking, décor and fashion, to name a few. Trim Queen Jana Platina Phipps is surrounded by luxe textiles and trims.

Now that the article is written, I see how it reveals my essence and I am grateful to Carmen for giving me clarity and allowing me to dream. It was a little scary saying some of the answers aloud, words were like an irrevocable smoke signal, heeded by the universe. I realized after the interview, it’s been a while since I fantasized about a dream project, or pinpointed what lights me up. Her questions were thoughtful and probing and really made me think about what fuels me creatively.
