About Alyssa
I’ve always been drawn to fashion, textiles, and sewing, but it took me a good long while to put all the pieces of my life together into creating Tangle Syx. I’m not sure where all of the years from my 20’s through my 40’s went, but they included working in the mortgage industry, freelance writing, becoming a mother of twins, and caring for my husband who developed and later died from FTD, an early-onset dementia.There were some tough years in there, but life goes on, so in 2020 I started a new chapter, wherein I get to play with fabric, flex my environmental roots, and just generally create a company that reflects the type of world I want to live in.
About Grace
I've been sewing since I was eight years old, turning fabric into something meaningful for more than half my life. I met Alyssa during high school through an independent study program where she mentored me in pattern-making and garment construction, an experience that solidified to me that I love making clothes. Since then, I dived into the fashion industry in anyway I could. From being a straight stitcher in a dog collar manufacturing facility to a bridal stylist and designer, I found my way back to Maine and now work for Alyssa, helping her bring her brand's vision to life.
