From a young age, I’ve always had a deep love for styling and fashion. As a 4 year old child, against my parents’ wishes, I would pull all of the clothes from my dresser and lay them out on the living room floor, creating different outfits. This was a daily event. Eventually, my mom gave me access to her sewing room, and it became my creative haven. I took sewing lessons from grade school thru middle school, learning a basic understanding of mending and altering my own clothing. As I grew older my passion for vintage fashion blossomed, I found endless joy and inspiration in how timeless pieces make you feel unique—knowing that no one else is wearing what you are and how clothing was art. This passion has led me to create my own clothing line, Vivian Rikki, named after an extremely loving grandmother, and a great grandmother who gifted me my first quilt that in-turn started an ongoing obsession with textiles.

My mission is to bring a sense of creativity and fun into everyday life, with designs that inspire individuality and encourage people to express themselves freely and confidently, with pieces that will stay current generation after generation.
