Patti Carpenter began with a traditional design education and over twenty years worked with top fashion designers. The 80's and the 90's were a creative time on Seventh Avenue, but that changed. Patti became more focused on "the numbers and best-sellers" rather than on inspiration and design. After a New Year's Eve in Brazil, where she threw flowers into the ocean, counted her blessings and asked for guidance, Patti returned to New York City and volunteered with Aid to Artisans, a non-profit group that promotes craft businesses in developing countries.
