About Me

The inception of the Kechena Designs brand started just a few months after I graduated from Missouri State University back in 2013. Choosing my name for the “Kechena Designs” brand due to the fact that it is just what I want to represent my core brand values: bespoke, inspiring, and timeless!

Upon studying abroad in London, England during my course in school, the Kechena Designs brand began to take effect. I started to re-evaluate my design concepts and focused on designers such as Issey Miyake and Alexander McQueen. Upon my return back to the states, I took all of my past experiences and studies to merge together and focused on “designing women one seam at a time.” Since then, the Kechena Designs brand has accomplished the following:

JOANN Fabric & Craft Stores Fashion Influencer
SHEIN-X Fashion Influencer
"Best Clothing Designer" in Kansas City's 2022 People's Choice Awards
Bachelors degree in Fashion Design/Textile Science
Fashion Design study abroad in London England (4 months)
Former Fashion & Costume Design teacher at a local Performing Arts High School
Fashion Design entrepreneur since 2015
Participated in numerous fashion shows in various cities (LA, NYC, Chicago, KC, etc.)

She responded quickly with all my requests and made changes to the dress very fast without questions. Going forward I will always use Kechena to make my outfits for every special event and more."
