Soul Carrier is also carried online at www.soulcarier.com Soul Carrier is the answer to a question my mother posed to me the summer before my senior year at Arizona State University. That summer, my entire family was involved in a car accident that took both of my parents’ lives. Moments before my father’s SUV rolled over in a tire blow out, my mother turned around and said to me, “where do you want to go.” She never got to finish that sentence, and I never got to tell her my answer. I thought becoming a prestigious attorney should be my answer to that question. However, my soul had other plans. I set out for the shiny lights of Manhattan and Parsons the New School of Design. My time in NYC included interning for Oscar de la Renta, dressing models at New York Fashion Week, designing products for Henri Bendel, and working in product development at American Eagle. My fashion adventures also took me to Christmas parties with Marc Jacobs, fashion shows where I sat behind Anna Wintour, and jobs at Conde Nast that eerily resembled the movie The Devil Wears Prada. As incredible as Manhattan was, my soul, longed to be back in Phoenix. And so, I moved home and started working for a marketing firm that was coordinating the festivities surrounding the grand opening of Barneys at Scottsdale Fashion Square. The mall decided to host an event called “The Mannequin Is Our Muse,” in which valley residents were invited to take blank mannequins and turn them into art. I collaborated with my friend Bob Wilkinson. The mannequin we created was covered in vibrant rag rugs from the Dollar Store. Bob, a fellow creative, encouraged me to use my design degree, and thus, out of a pile of rag rugs, Soul Carrier started to take shape. I want to design products that bring more beauty and light to the world. Products that inspire people to carry their souls in every action they take. I want to encourage my customers to walk with integrity towards THEIR true north (not the direction other people want them to walk towards) and be authentic to what their soul truly desires. I believe your soul is your moral compass and learning to tune out the external noise is one of the most extraordinary things you can do for yourself. In the words of Avicii, “Life’s a game made for everyone, and love is the prize.” I hope my handbags impact you and inspire you to pursue what you LOVE. May your soul always be your most fabulous guide as you journey through the game of life. THA T’S ALL, F OLK S. Fueled by a love of creativity, design, and collaborations.
