About

Thrum State is designed for Gen X women who know what they want—and what they don’t.

Thrum represents the fundamental thread or vibration that is uniquely you. By reaching your Thrum State, you shed the layers of expectations society has imposed and reveal your authentic self.

At Thrum State, I focus on simple, functional pieces that fit beautifully and work as hard as you do. On the blog, I dig into everything from late-night worries to practical solutions for everyday chaos. Because at this age, if we’re wasting time, it should be on the things we enjoy.

Thrum Logo

This logo is a reflection of the principles I hold at the heart of Thrum. It represents the relationship between fabric and thread—the two elements I use to create every design. The intertwined knots are a symbol of how thread locks fabric into shape and space, building both form and function. Beyond its practical roots, this design carries layers of meaning that resonate with balance, unity, and connection.

Key Symbolism:

• Unity and Balance:
  The four circles represent balance and harmony in all directions—north, south, east, and west—or in every aspect of life: mind, body, spirit, and emotions. For me, this balance reflects the intention behind every piece I create.
• Four Cardinal Directions:
  The design embodies a sense of wholeness and completeness, much like the fabric of life itself. Each direction contributes to the larger picture, reminding me of the interconnectedness of ideas, cultures, and experiences.
• Intersection of Ideas:
  The central meeting point, where the knots cross, represents the coming together of diverse elements. It’s a metaphor for the unity I seek in my work—a blend of creativity, tradition, and innovation.

How The Fastener-Free Obsession Began

It all started about 17 years ago when I was wrestling with baby rompers. Fasteners, buttons, snaps—seriously, who thought this was a good idea? The baby doesn’t care if it’s in couture or wrapped in a burrito blanket. So, I fixed it. No fasteners, no problem. Dressing my baby suddenly became 80% less rage-inducing. I called them Yankers. I also ran a website (sold in 2021) called Baby Wit.

Signature Pieces

Women's One Piece Long Underwear

Then, around the time of Covid-19, I thought, “Why should adults suffer too?” That’s how the women’s MoonEaze™ one-piece came to be—a cozy outfit designed so you don’t have to get completely undressed just to use the bathroom. Think of it as a warm hug disguised as clothes. Comfortable, functional, and designed to make you feel like you’re winning at life—cause you absolutely are in this one piece.

P05K™ Waist Pockets

Then came the P05K™ Utility Micro Mini Pocket Skirt, or as I like to call it: "How Has This Not Been Invented Before?" It’s a mini-skirt with four (yes, FOUR) huge pockets. And not those sad, fake ones that barely hold a tube of lip balm. These are the real-deal, deep enough to stash your phone, wallet, keys, snacks, and whatever else you’ve been hoarding in that oversized purse. Whether you’re out dancing, running errands, or surviving an outdoor festival, you don’t need a bag because you’re already wearing one. It’s like I looked at women’s clothing and said, “What if I did wearable pockets around the waist... but better?”

What Makes Thrum State Different?

I hate clothes that make me uncomfortable. I hate inefficiency. And I really hate anything that adds unnecessary chaos to life. Thrum State was born to solve real-life style problems: pieces that prioritize comfort, fit, and sustainability—all while looking damn good.

When I hit my forties, I realized something: I wanted to keep my edge, but I didn’t want to look like I was raiding my kid’s closet. I wanted style that was expressive, artsy, and modern—but still mature. I didn’t want to straddle that weird line between "Forever Young" (or now the horror of Shein) trends and the oh-so-earnest minimalism of adulting brands like Eileen Fisher. (Love you, Eileen, but sometimes... yawn.)

Thrum State is here for those of us who want contemporary style that feels confident, edgy, and effortlessly wearable on our 40-, 50-, or 60-something bodies—lumps, bumps, curves, and all. Clothes that make you look good without compromising on comfort or sanity. Clothes that let you be you—just with better design.

Sourcing Transparency:

Transparency matters to me, so here’s where I source my materials:

• Thrum State Designs: I use deadstock fabrics and source from Kinderel.
• P05K™: I rely on deadstock end rolls from Pine Crest Fabrics because stretchy polyesters work best for waist pockets.
• MoonEaze™: Sustainable fabrics from Kinderel and select wholesalers specializing in eco-friendly materials.

When it comes to blanks, I work with Royal Apparel for their USA-made, eco-friendly options, and Original Favorites for their high-quality, sustainably produced, Fair Trade-certified pieces.

In addition to my in-house line, I carefully select items from other manufacturers that align with Thrum values. These pieces are either Fair Trade or demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability, ensuring they meet the same ethical and environmental standards I hold myself to.

For stickers I work with a local company Diesel Fuel Prints and utilize Sticker Mule for small runs to test new designs. (Neither of these are sustainably made, but I are always looking for better options.)

Every Choice is Intentional

From start to finish, I’ve considered the entire life cycle of my flagship product—the baby romper. By designing clothing without hardware, elastic, or Velcro™ that can break or wear out, I’ve naturally extended the life of Thrum pieces.

Thrum State Fix-It Guarantee

If any of my pieces tear or seams rip, send them back to me—I’ll repair them for free. Because sustainability isn’t just how I make our clothing, it’s how I stand behind it.
