With an educational background in Architecture and Apparel Design, Lisa Silveira loves to solve complex design problems. Her clothing line Wandering Muse focuses on convertible apparel that doesn’t look convertible. This design concept was inspired by her time living in Florence Italy, where she was limited to the wardrobe she could fit in a suitcase for months at a time. With years of experience, Lisa is genuinely passionate about teaching and sharing her knowledge with others. Her specialty is the world of knits, both cut and sew as well as creating fully fashioned garments on home knitting machines.
