Portrait of Kate Ryan, founder of Sweet Violet

Hi, I'm Kate Ryan — I am a clothing designer, maker and content creator with a passion for fashion. There is nothing that brings me more joy in life than making something that fits like it was made for you (because it was!). I feel privileged to be doing what I love by bringing you styling advice and customized pieces designed to last a lifetime. Please take a look around and always feel free to reach out to me. I'm glad you're here!
