Creating has always been in my spirit. It is all about what I have always loved... color, shape, surprise, imagination. From early in my childhood, designing has been my passion; this is who I am.

When I was blessed to become mother to Jaiden Grace in 2001, I found an outlet for the creativity that had been bottled up during my years in corporate America. I started creating unique, one-of-a-kind clothes for Jaiden. I started with original designs using standard stuff off of the rack like overalls-- making them fabulous, unique, one of a kind with vintage hankies, feed sack fabric, and lots of bling.

My beginning wasn't glamorous - not even close. In 2003, I began the journey, working out of my dining room and Lisa's garage. But it very quickly started paying off; moms loved my work and the word started to spread. I was creating garments that brightened a child's face and helped create her being… drawing attention to her uniqueness... this is what My Vintage Baby is all about. Since my childhood, this has been my dream.

Our first couture line, "Collections by Jessica", quickly became recognized as "a piece of yesterday for the hip child of today." What makes My Vintage Baby clothing and accessories different? Each piece is different and unique, unique as each piece has a vintage piece and one-of-a-kind look. I use old feed sacks, hankies, chenille, aprons, and tablecloths to embellish the clothing, creating truly unique designs. My vision was to make each garment as unique as the children who wear them!

However, I kept seeing ideas that fell outside the vintage products, and I just could not let them go. The popularity of My Vintage Baby, coupled with my creative inspiration, imagined and created the birth of the company's next couture "Collections by Jessica" – Leopard Daisy. Leopard Daisy was created from that vision, where in each collection you'll find a little funk, a lot of glitz, and a fresh new look.

I am amazed as I look back over the last three years. Today, the company now has a new corporate office in McKinney, Texas, corporate showrooms in Dallas and Atlanta, as well as phenomenal sales teams in NY, Chicago, and Los Angeles. "Collections by Jessica" are sold in almost 600 stores nationwide and amazingly that number is growing each day.

Along with my family, "Collections by Jessica" is my life. I can only imagine what the future holds. I will always create clothing that brightens the individuality of little girls and brings attention to her uniqueness.

Creating special clothing for special girls is what these lifestyle collections are all about.
