About The Designer
Hi there!
My name is Blake Durbin, and I am not only a visionary entrepreneur and humble public servant, but a fun addition to any dinner party.
Ever since using my mom’s 1970′s vintage Singer electric sewing machine, I have always had a desire to create. During elementary and high school, I often upcycled my clothing, mainly because I couldn’t afford new clothes, but also because I have never had any training in design or garment fabrication so I couldn’t make my own from scratch. Taking home economics in high school helped me understand the use of the sewing machine better, and I was able to perform more functions with it – even though all I ever made was sweat pants and some oddly shaped pillows during those classes. I also made some chocolate chip cookies, but those were a rock-hard crusty burnt mess.
