1. What inspired you to start NetNets?

​

As a kid in San Francisco, I spent a lot of time at a rock climbing gym after school, and my parents made sure that we visited Yosemite like twice a year. More recently I saw some images of climbers in the 80s in old Patagonia ads and the colors of their climbing cord was so exciting to me, I had to learn more. My initial thought was to crochet the material, but then I picked up a book of knots and went deep into youtube and here I am. My first netnet was a total accident. At the end of the day it is for my dad, Yosemite was his favorite place in the world.

2. What is your favorite part about your craft?

​

Experimentation. When I'm between commissions, I love to play around with shapes. I'm obsessed with the technicality, functionality, and utility of the material. I just want to do more and more with it and the colors and endless options draw me in.

​

3. How do you find time / motivation to run your side hustle while also working a full-time job? 

​

That's a funny question because I honestly do not have time for it at all. But I set deadlines for myself and try my darnedest to stick to them, and ask for a little bit of forgiveness along the way. I am forever grateful for everyone who has shown me patience.
