Who are you? Where are you from? Like, what is your story?

Yeah, of course.

So I am Kristen Kisieliak, the owner of Ida Mae Home, and I actually was born and raised in Fort Worth and moved away for a bit.

I lived in London, Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida.

So I kinda lived everywhere, and my career at the time was a buyer.

So I was a buyer for Marshall Fields, Dayton Hudsons, for Stein Mart back in the day when they were around, and I was always on that side of things in retail.

And I'd worked with this couple who sold me quilts, and I worked with them for years and years.

How difficult is it to be working and designing so many seasons ahead? How are you physically living in the here and now, but also really forecasting, like, what are girls gonna think is cool next year? Like now, when we're listening or we're recording this in April, what season are you guys currently designing for?
