HELLO
My name is Elin (pronounced Ellen) I am a fashion designer living in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
​
Growing up I learned how to sew from my Grandma and went on to study fashion part-time in high school. Furthering my education I earned my bachelors degree in Apparel Design at Iowa State University and moved to NYC to work in the fashion industry.
​
During the day I work as a designer and at night I continue my creativity by sewing garments for myself.
​
My style can be described as #SewFrosting - I love prints and colors of every sort! I like to sew things that I can't find in stores and that are one-of-a-kind.
