I’m beyond grateful to share that Coast to Country was recently featured in Voyage Dallas as a “Rising Star” of Fort Worth! It truly feels like a full-circle moment, and I’m so honored for the opportunity to share the story behind Coast to Country.
In the interview, I talk candidly about how the brand grew out of my journey, from earning my BFA in Fashion Design at UNT, to designing across the globe, and ultimately building something rooted in simplicity, beauty, and intention. Coast to Country began as a passion project: a labor of love combining graphic tees, curated vintage finds, and nature-inspired creativity.
It wasn’t always a straight path. After having my son, I shifted to contract fashion work to juggle family life and even homeschool him. Since then, I’ve learned the power of giving myself grace as I build Coast to Country at a pace that stays true to my vision and values.
But more than the challenges, what fills me with gratitude is the support system around me, my family, friends, and this community, who continually cheer me on. That kind of encouragement, paired with persistence and faith, really does feel like the truest kind of luck.
I can’t thank Voyage Dallas enough for giving Coast to Country this incredible moment. And to each of you reading this, thank you, for being part of the journey, for celebrating beauty in the everyday, and for believing in the magic that creativity and heart can bring.
