EVENTS & EDUCATION
hands-on customization events | teaching skills: basic sewing to advanced techniques | in-person or virtual sessions
I have provided services at dozens of events ranging from quick-turn customizations to individual fittings to hands-on craft instruction. That collaborative, in-person energy brings out the best ideas, resulting in new skills or favorite pieces for each participant . Reach out below to discuss how to bring an interactive design experience to your event.
Crocs x Levis x Bodega
My team prepped over 50 handmade jibbitz for the Bodega launch event. We worked with event guests to customize their limited edition Crocs with jibbitz, hand sewn appliques, and embellishments.
Coachella
2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
My team outfitted Levis guests for Coachella Weekend 1, offering quick turn tailoring to ensure perfect festival fits.
We also created custom pieces for various brand partners and offered on-site customization at Levis pre-festival parties.

Tailor Tutorials
My tutorials on mending, embellishing, denim terminology, and more can be found at the levi.com Off the Cuff blog page. In partnership with our marketing team, I filmed, photographed, and recorded audio for many of the original videos during the early months of the pandemic lockdown. We offered other skills tutorials as live virtual sessions.
Paperboy x Beams x Levis
My team created samples from vintage garments for this collaboration, then sourced the vintage garments for production.
I developed this customizable lunch bag design for the launch event in Paris.
Pinterest Presents Levis
We customized 1000+ products on-site for consumers over 5 days as part of a seasonal trend forecasting experience.
We also created pre-customized product, including embroidery design briefs for vendors and in-house embellished totes
Store Openings
I managed supplies requirements, on-site machinery and space set up, tailor development, and stylist/staff training for 6 new stores in the U.S. and Canada.
My team developed a playbook for future openings so that we would not have to personally attend each new location opening.
Desert & Denim
My team dyed, stitched, discharge screen printed, and applied gold foil to 50 special pre-made bandanas for this event. The design celebrated 50 years of partnership between Levis and Cone Denim. We also assisted attendees in printing their own bandanas on site.
Tailoring Guidelines
I developed and authored the global tailoring standards documents for Levi Strauss & Co. I also created customization offerings with corresponding manuals for over a dozen special events.
Chain Stitch Training
I developed and authored training manuals for hand-turned chain stitch embroidery at Levis tailor shops, including quality standards and exercises to evaluate skill level.
Seasonal Offerings
I created flash embroidery designs and pre-customized product for over 30 holidays, festivals, and special events.
