A Boston native, she could knit since before she could read and decided to become a designer when she was 13. She attended Cornell University for design school, and then moved to New York, where she temped briefly in a knitting factory before joining the design team at Oscar de la Renta as a knitwear product development assistant.
After four years as a product developer, she left to go to MIT Sloan School of Management to study business and operations.
Join us as Laura describes her journey from learning to knit at a very early age to participating in MIT's startup accelerator to start Fit for Everybody, focusing on consistency, accuracy, and representation in fit and sizing from the design stage.
