You are a gift. Garnish your pretty head so full of thoughts with a specific pair of statement jewelry. Like a coffin earring in July. Or fried egg earrings at brunch. I'm not kidding or exaggerating when I say this is my dream. I am passionate about the power of feeling like yourself when you choose to feel seen. Maybe if you’re lucky - your unique style will help your people find you.

I make stuff for the cool girls with much older sisters. The person transitioning who just got their ears pierced. The biggest sluts at the thrift shops.

Karat Cake is customized and curated especially for me at 15, when I was bright. Celestial. Playful. Creepy. Daydreaming of being a cowgirl and feeding roadrunners from my hand like my great grandma did. I create for me at 8, 18, and 28. An entire life lived with each decade.

I make wearable things with personality because I had to, financially. Because I had to, geographically (think, Fashion Barn). And because, frankly, I want to.

I want to make something the much older sister would wear. The one made quirky by that special sixth sense you developed when people were counting on you. I take inspiration from a childhood of living with vivid descriptions of hell, unable to celebrate Halloween. I hope I can capture the style of women who married their true love: a man, incidentally. I want to make something for my fellow country folk, living in the Kentucky mountains, Florida panhandle, and Oklahoma desert... The ones with equal love for snakeskin boots and butterfly tattoos. I design for the daughters of sun worshippers, who were more taken with the moon.

I make things for the 35 year old teen moms. I make things for powerful people with a sense of humor. I make things for the precious souls who found a way to stay sensitive, and kind through it all. The ones with their head in the clouds. I make things for the folks who push the rules of the dress code. The folks who ruled Tumblr. The ones running the city. The horse girls, and band kids, and homeschooled, and every other outsider who is ready to own it.

I make things for the person with their head in the clouds.
