I was born and raised in Southern California, spending my days rollerblading down PCH and living in activewear. Movement has always shaped how I dress. After playing college hockey and later moving to New York City for a corporate career, I realized I wanted to build something that truly aligned with the way I live.

My friends and I have always gravitated toward a sporty, androgynous aesthetic, but shopping in the men’s section never fully worked—great style, wrong fit. With the rise of women’s sports and a growing embrace of unisex style, it felt like the right moment to create the pieces I had been searching for.

That idea became au revoir 13 (a13)—a brand rooted in authenticity, designed for women who move confidently through the world and refuse to compromise on fit, quality, or style.
