About this episode

I’m Adrianne Lee, a free-spirited, fashion loving, designer/artist/ entrepreneur who’s been independently running and creating Ninkybink since 2002. I put a lot of love into what I do; it’s my creative expression and my passion! The items you will find on my website are created in small runs, or they are one of a kind. I like to make things that I myself would want to wear, so that often means I use vintage buttons, self- illustrated & hand-pulled screen prints, or fabulous fabrics that are hard to find in large quantities.The goal is to create beautiful well-made items that are as lovely as they are special. Another goal I have is to support local resources whenever possible. If I am going to screen print t-shirts, I find an American source to purchase them from. If I need help, I hire local seamstresses. If I want hummus, I buy it from the local business owner in town. It’s how I like to do business. It’s not always possible in a day in age where almost everything comes from overseas, but when it is possible I go for it! A little extra about me, for those interested: I graduated in Apparel Merchandising and Product Development, and worked several stints in NYC over the course of several years, interning at Harper’s Bazaar Magazine, and working as a freelance fashion assistant at places like J. Crew. I’ve also worked as a Visual Merchandiser and as Buying Assistant for an upscale privately owned boutique. I'm crazy enough to have run two full marathons barefoot, and odd enough to not own a TV. I love my family, those dear to my heart, and life! I always love receiving notes and questions do feel free to contact me. http://www.ninkybink.com/
