She combines her deep knowledge base, acquired skills, and global experience to analyze fashion from both a technical and human perspective, translating insights to finished product and the written page with the precision of an engineer and the curiosity of a journalist.

Dress with intention — and design the life you want to wear.

“I’ve designed apparel for athletes who climbed Mt. Rainier and Mt. Everest, for explorers who reached both the North and South Poles, and for teams who skied the highest peaks and crossed the Hindu Kush. Every garment was built with purpose — engineered to achieve the wearers mission. I bring that same philosophy to every project: When you Dress With Intention — no goal is beyond reach.” — Melodie Miller
