We
break
the rules.

I was (am) resistant to talking about myself…. anywhere, but also here, on the Awning webpage. I’ve always said I’m the behind-the-scenes gal when journalists or PLMs have tried to quote me or photograph me. But I received lots of feedback saying people wanted a face, a more personal element on the webpage. So, here we are.

Since birth, I have landed in places with wet, soggy, powdery, and/or wintery mix ski conditions. I accepted a wet butt as a way of life. Until I started designing apparel for a living, coupled with moving to the PNW. Here, at Baker, people wear Grundens skiing! How brilliant. However, Grundens don’t have gaiters, zippered pockets, or other novelty ski features. So, my idea was born.
