How Designer Amy Homan Built a Sustainable and Ethical Fashion Company

In 2017, Amy Homan took a fashion design course. Today, she has her own fashion line and a sustainable and ethical clothing company called Evolverie.

In this episode, Amy talks about the 16 years she spent working in collections, the rise and fall of her wedding décor business, and the ups and downs of designing and producing a fashion line. We also get into the financial challenges that can come with owning a business, the power of relationships, and Amy's commitment to building a company that is supporting the environment and paying people a living wage for their work.
