| Introduction | For most of my adult life, I worked in corporate training and communication. While I always managed to integrate creativity into my work, it was my employer’s buyout and subsequent downsizing that opened the door to self-employment. I walked out of that world and never looked back. My first creative enterprise was a handmade greeting card business which resulted in orders from the country’s finest boutiques and museum shops. I became enamored with fashion accessories and transitioned into jewelry and handbags in 2001. In 2007 I bought a vintage Bernina sewing machine for $35 and began designing clothes. Twice nominated for Niche Awards- which recognize fine American craft- my work has been featured in numerous magazines and books. I sell my work at a few select shows in Southern California and in private showings in my studio. You can follow my blog at lorimarsha.com where I write about my current projects and share my other love- photography. |
