The year was 2020 and I was halfway through my freshman year, when the idea of creating a daughter brand for the university I was attending came to me.

I’ve always had a love for simplicity, not only in my approach for design but in my personal style as well. I had a lot of questions – why weren’t there elevated pieces of university branded apparel available? why wasn’t the bookstore collaborating with students to showcase the talent in our community? why weren’t we providing a platform for entrepreneurial students who loved design and fashion?

After three years of attempting to sell my idea and many side looks and rejection, I decided to make my idea actually come to life for my senior capstone project. With countless hoops and even more rejection, I brought the concept to life.

Two years later the university approached me to adopt it.

I was honored to design the first collection of apparel and accessories the founding year of this beautiful new project that puts a spotlight on the creative minds of the Olivet community and cross-departmental collaboration.

Welcome to the vault.
