In the vibrant world of fashion, where innovation and uniqueness are celebrated, I stand as both the founder and the sole designer at SingleTree Lane. My journey into fashion is deeply influenced by my own neurodiversity, shaped by an INTJ personality and Asperger's Syndrome. This blog explores how these aspects of my identity guide my creative process, from the conception of digital fabric swatches to the final designs of our garments.

My neurodiverse traits, particularly my intense focus and meticulous attention to detail, are strengths that I leverage throughout my design process. These abilities allow me to see and think about design elements in ways that others might not immediately recognize. At SingleTree Lane, each piece of clothing is more than just apparel; it's a declaration of individuality, crafted under the influence of a unique worldview that comes from seeing things differently.

The creation process starts with digital fabric swatches, where my skills distinctly shine. Unlike traditional designers who might work with readily available fabrics, I often create my own from scratch. This process involves a complex layering of colors, textures, and patterns that requires hours of focused work—typically ranging from two to twelve hours per swatch. This dedication ensures that each fabric not only meets our aesthetic and functional standards but also resonates with personal and artistic integrity.

This level of intricacy is carried into the final garments. My designs challenge conventional fashion norms by integrating multiple layers of digital backgrounds, advanced geometric patterns, and futuristic graphics. These elements are not merely for aesthetic appeal; they are imbued with meaning and purpose, encouraging wearers to boldly express their individuality. My approach to fashion is grounded in the belief that clothing should be expressive, practical, and accessible—suitable for every occasion, from the office to casual outings.

Leading SingleTree Lane, I am not just creating clothes; I am also advocating for a greater understanding and appreciation of neurodiversity in the creative industry. By being open about how Asperger's Syndrome influences my work, I hope to challenge and change the stereotypes about neurodiverse individuals. My experiences underscore that neurodiversity can indeed be a powerful asset in environments that thrive on innovative and detailed craftsmanship.

Much like Elon Musk has revolutionized technology and transportation with his work at Tesla and SpaceX, I am harnessing my Asperger’s in a different arena: fashion and energy healing. Though I don’t build rockets, my mission is to launch new ideas in how we wear and think about our clothes, integrating energy healing elements that enhance the wearer's wellbeing. Musk's public acknowledgment of his Asperger's has helped raise awareness and acceptance, underscoring the exceptional contributions that can arise when neurodiverse minds are at work.

Our mission at SingleTree Lane transcends fashion. We aim to foster a more inclusive world that recognizes and celebrates the diverse strengths and perspectives of all individuals. Each design invites wearers to showcase their unique views and personal stories, promoting a culture that values diversity and inclusion.

In reflecting on my journey, I see that embracing my neurodiversity has not only allowed me to achieve personal success but also to influence the fashion industry positively. Through my work, I invite everyone to appreciate the beauty and strength of seeing the world through a different lens. My hope is that by sharing my story and our designs at SingleTree Lane, we can inspire others to recognize and harness their unique traits, turning what some might see as challenges into their greatest strengths.
