Dez Ferrell is in the driver seat today. She owns and manages her own shop, Nessy’s Kustoms, focused on custom paint and restoration in Mesa, Arizona. She was recently a featured contestant on Motor Trend’s Bitchen Bootcamp. She did not grow up in a shop, nor did she have an interest in cars for most of her life. It wasn’t until she owned a Honda Accord that introduced her to the import scene that was going on about 14 years ago. For Dez it was never a question of why would she ever want to be in a male-dominated industry and fight to constantly prove her skills to the non-believers, it was why wouldn’t she? In those moments when she wanted to give up and quit, she found a way to push forward. For each struggle it made her wiser and for each failure brought her another step towards success.

Kathreen had this to say, "After returning to my roots I decided to step out of my father and brothers shadows and try my hand with interior work. I have had experience with sewing clothes and such, my mother and I made my prom dress. I also made a few dresses and blankets on my own. So I thought upholstery is just thicker material and bigger machines, I was pretty right on that. I acquired a 1953 Pfaff industrial sewing machine and scrap boat materials, I then dove head first into the sewing." Audience feedback drives the show. I’d love for you to text me at (614) 953-6380.

She wanted to create Torq’d clothing after trying to find durable work clothes that are designed for females. She is currently in the middle of developing version 2 of the pants after her first batch was not exactly what she wanted them to be. The factory is projecting the second version to be completed by mid-July 2019. The sizes that will be offered range from size 2 to size 16. Torq’d clothing currently offers shirts and jackets on their website (https://www.torqdclothing.com/pages/about-us ). The shirts include sayings geared towards female mechanics with sayings like “Not sure if that’s grease or mascara” and “love/hate relationship with gear oil”.

What themes and advice would you like to share with the Femcanic Garage audience?

“Defy the odds no matter what others tell you, always remember keep the positive thoughts over the negative thoughts. Also always remember to keep your head down and work hard, ignore the comments when people are mean it’s because they are jealous of what you have or the attention you are getting. If you work hard and do your job the best of your abilities people will notice even if you don't think anyone does.”
