Maggie Evans has always had a deep love and passion for creating and art-making, a practice she describes as her form of self-care since childhood. Growing up, she would often be found in her room, working with fabric, paint, and various materials to process her inner world. This early dedication to her craft led her to attend art school for her undergraduate studies. After graduation, Maggie promptly began working at Cicada, a local independent bridal shop in Seattle, Washington. There, she specialized in designing and making wedding dresses, a role she cherished not for the sales aspect, but for the opportunity to work closely with brides. Maggie relished the chance to engage deeply with the transformative process brides go through as they transition from single life to married life, making her contributions all the more meaningful.
