She learned to sew on my grandmother’s old foot pedal sewing machine making dresses for her Barbie. From this first introduction as a young girl, she knew fashion would be my life. Heike formally trained as a seamstress prior to spending her 20’s and 30’s in the fashion houses of Germany, Paris, and Hong Kong. Traveling extensively in Asia to source fabrics and raw materials, she was influenced by the exotic esthetic of Asian culture.
Heike moved from Germany to Aspen, Colorado in 2006 and soon thereafter attended the world’s largest and most renowned arts festival - Burning Man. Lightning struck. She realized a more potent expression of my personal purpose. Heike's mission in life is to empower women through evoking presence, joy, excitement, and playfulness. She crafts functional luxury accessories with sumptuous textures, brazen rawness, and sensory awakening sounds.
