La Voleuse gave me the unparalleled opportunity to participate in every aspect of developing a business. From co-founding the accessories company in 2002 to the company's closure in 2008, I gained wide-ranging practical experience in designing, manufacturing, marketing, and managing an independent label. Designs over the years included hand-painted ballet slippers, jewelry, and a line of handcrafted handbags that launched in Fall 2004. La Voleuse has been featured in WWD, Lucky, ElleGirl, Teen Vogue, The New York Times Magazine, Venus, and The Face among others.
