Before becoming a designer, Carlie was turning wrenches, restoring old cars with her dad, and repairing boats. Entirely self taught, her approach to design was shaped by learning how things are built, how they break, and how they’re put back together.
It’s a hands on philosophy that mirrors the spirit of Kustom Kulture and the workman culture behind Von Dutch. Because the best things aren’t built to sit still. They’re built to be tested.
