Bio
I grew up near Beaumont, TX with a Mom and Grandmother who both sewed and, while I was in high school, they worked for a local fashion designer. That and several other life events, made me realize designing beautiful clothing was my calling. I took pattern making as an elective while in college at Sam Houston University majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Those skills can into play in 2003, when a client at Jo-Ann's Fabrics asked me to make the sample garments for her children's clothing collection and I've been chasing the dream in some form or fashion ever sense. I'm a very versatile designer mostly designing new classics in boutique, cocktail, and evening wear, a MLW MLWear.com piece will still be in style several years after it's created. I love to challenge myself and anything that gives my mind a workout inspires me to create. I love creating my work as well as helping others by teaching, pattern-making, dyeing, fiber art and even producing items for them. I have worked as a sewn product developer making safety gear for military, consumer good, and the aerospace industry.
Malissa served as the Textiles area lead from December 2016-December of 2022. On the board of Directors of MakeICT from June of 2017-July 2020. She had severed on several committees including Outreach, Communications, Fundraising, and Events. She is currently the President of The Arts Council and Wichita Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers Guild committee chair for the Fiber Arts Center.
