About Mindy

Hi! I’m Mindy, founder of 1030 Clothing! 

Teacher by day, fashion designer by night. When I’m done teaching high school, you’ll likely find me sewing the night away, or jamming out to Stevie Wonder on my roller skates. 

I love clothing.

And I’ve always been a fashionista, (ask my sister how many of my Christmas Fashion Show Specials I made her model in when we were kids) draping outfits with scarves and showing as many people as would watch it.

Beyond loving fashion, I’m also an environmentalist, and deeply spiritual. You’ll find those values embedded in everything I do.

1030 Clothing is the most splendid synergy of all my passions. (I don’t design roller skates though… that would be THE ULTIMATE). I am alive when I’m working on it and promise to put my whole heart into making beautiful garments for you to feel and look amazing in.

Behind the Brand

My mission is to express the same values that I live by. Clothing can be sustainably and responsibly made and I am committed to doing good at every turn, and that means treating others, ourselves, and the environment with care. 

Here’s a few of my ethical and feel good practices:

  • My products are eco-friendly. All fabrics are made from sustainable fibers such as bamboo, organic cotton, and more. Don’t believe us? Every product description has fiber details and certifications listed.
  • I pay a living wage. All garments are happily sewn in the Bay Area of California using fair wages and ethical manufacturing practices. This dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of shipping the goods to you!
  • Low carbon footprint. I produce only small batches of clothing at a time, reducing clothing waste and unnecessary environmental damage.
