so many good things to say about Craig.We've known each other for many years and I have never met anyone as dedicated to his job and his commitments as he is. He loves to get things done and he ALWAYS has some new project on his plate...a multitasker to the core. I am proud to have him as a friend and have had the honor to have worked with him side by side. He is a wonderful teacher and above all....a true humanitarian. He is an incredible asset to all he touches....

My Post COVID recovery taught me that Fashion is not inclusive to those living with disabilities. One billion people live with some form of restricted mobility in the world today. Differently Enabled exists to help people look good, feel good and do good. We are the made-to-order clothing brand for anyone and everyone who feels excluded by the fashion industry. We co-create incredible bespoke clothes for anyone who is differently enabled. My Post COVID recovery taught me that Fashion is not inclusive to those living with disabilities.
