Dude...She is such a betty!


She grew up in the board sport lifestyle, now she wants something different. She still wants to be connected but doesn’t want to look like every other 16 year old skate board chick. She wants clothing that’s comfortable but she doesn’t want to give up style. She is more interested in details and textures as a pose to branding and graphics. She is realizing the importance of the environment and wants clothing that reflects that without sacrificing the cool factor. Sustainability and eco-friendly apparel is the future, but she wants it in a board sport lifestyle brand.
