Green Savvy Founder
Pop-up clothing repair workshop
2019

After working for the Natural Resources Defence Council’s Clean by Design program, I began to see the terrible state of throw away culture within the fashion industry. I founded Green Savvy as a repair focused organization at U-M that had pop-up repair sessions across campus. As a team, we taught button attachment, hole repair, create education content, and provided sewing materials to students at U-M.
