Apparel Designer, Jessica Hemmer joins me to share all the unseen details most of us don’t consider that have to go into the design and production of every article of clothing we have to wear. Her experience in both the “big box” and corporate spaces working for companies like JC Penny and Procter and Gamble, as well as years of experience as owner of her own independent design brand make her a great resource for all aspects of the industry.

Aside from a look behind the scenes of apparel design, she shares the story of how she lost everything she’d worked a decade for and had to spend the past three years relying on her resilience to rebuild.
