BACKSTAGE: A Sneak Peek at LissMee's Studio/ Office/ Living Space/ Chaos

It's really pretty simple. We have 3 kids under 6 and work from home. As our business develops, it begins to take over more and more of the house. My studio began in an office, then became the living room, then we moved and it became the entire lower level. We love it. We play with the kids, they stay busy, and they inspire us. Here is a sneak peek of our day and our constant effort to maintain a healthy work/ family balance.

Nana, my mom, comes over all the time and really helps me out with the kids so I can work. They love making cookies.

Last season's collection

One of our favorite things is to bring the laptop to a coffee shop to do office work. Here Jon is teaching our son to play chess. He loves playing with his dad.

We start art projects before 7am

We paint in the tub.... it's much easier to clean.

Our studio is a mess. It's a mix of art supplies, fabrics, and drafting supplies. This was before we moved.

Everyone has an electronic. Jon and our daughter relaxing after a party.

My drafting table...... it;s supposed to look this way. If it were clean, nothing would be created.

Nana really helps me so much. There are days when I couldn't get anything done without her.

I've been so excited for this issue of Ellements Magazine to come out.

One of the photographers I work with and dear friend decided to take a birthday vacation to Moab, UT and do a photoshoot with 2 of my favorite models. They all traveled down, shot for 2 days, and got some amazing footage. I couldn't be more proud.

LISSMEE PHOTOSHOOT: Classic Fringe Photography

One of my favorite things about fashion design is the photo-shoots that come after completing a collection, I love collaborating with models, make-up artists, photographers, and everyone else who goes into creating a successful shoot. It's amazing to watch your visions evolve into a  real, tangible product and so rewarding to see how other professional's expertise take your idea to the next level. Here are some of my favorite photos from our latest shoot with David Labrum of Classic Fringe Photography. 

Models: Hailey Spung and Pinja Fristrom
