For years, I have been viewing the incredible photos that my father has taken. As a passionate photographer, he has traveled the world and captured some amazing photos that instantly evoke emotion. Our planet is a wonderful site to see.

I often wondered what could be done with these phenomenal images. How can we remind people of nature’s beauty, and be inspired to preserve our natural home? Could we build a website, or publish a book? How could I do something positive? And then…I stumbled upon the most incredible idea!

Why not make them into clothes? Meet Mac & Bean Designs. Named for my two daughters, I am proud to share this family-inspired venture with everyone!

I grew up in Westchester NY, attended college in CT, and moved to CA to work on a MA in Special Education. After teaching for many years in CA and working as the Asst. Director of Special Education, I moved back to CT and began tutoring, consulting, and advocating business. This was all put on hold when I had children.

With no background in design or fashion, I jumped into this new venture after years of viewing the beautiful photos taken by my father. We could only print so many for our walls and coffee table books, I wanted to do something different and unique with them and that is when Mac & Bean Designs was born.
