I create clothing for women, men and children. My designs are inspired by my Navajo heritage. I use luxurious velvet, shimmering satins, and vibrant wool fabrics to create blouses, skirts, coats and vests. I embellish my creations with sterling silver hand stamped buttons, turquoise stones, coral stones, and beads. I design some of my fabrics and have it printed. I am also a pattern maker and draft all of my patterns. I use sewing machines and hand stitching to construct my designs. On many of my blouses, I use pin tucked fabric, which is a method that my grandmothers used to add shape to a garment, before scissors were readily available. To create pin tucks, you fold the fabric and stitch close to the edge to create decorative ridges.
