Experience

1. Owner Designer

   The Angela Johnson Company Llc

   Jan 2001 — Present · Scottsdale, AZ

   Turning T-shirts Into Couture… Angela Johnson’s line is entirely hand crafted from “thrifted” and scavenged T-shirts. The t-shirts are then \"upcycled\" and redesigned into unique, heavily constructed gowns, skirts and tops. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind because they are each made from whatever shirts can be found at the time they are made. Customers may request colors, custom sizes and T-shirt logo themes when ordering and may even provide their own personal collection of T-shirts. No two dresses are exactly alike.
