So...what is it you'd say you DO here?

Inquiring minds have been asking, so Dave, now that you're graduated, what exactly are you doing with yourself?!  Why, working at the 440 Brannan boutique of course!  My school chums Gerhart and Kunal started their own fashion label named Umber & Ochre (website in development) and I've come on as the third wheel.  Here are some shots of the boutique / work space, as the storefront is a converted production factory:

Cutting table and some straight-stich machines

Light table and the Mens' Wear racks

Cutting saws and Art!

Yes, that's all very nice David, but what do YOU do?!  Glad you asked!  Bit of everything, as the business is a start-up.  Some pattern drafting and cutting...

some sample sewing / production...

a little graphic design...

lending a helping hand during sales...

...every once in awhile, doing some amateur entomology!  Found this little guy in a box full of samples.

 and of course, offering to grab some lunch for the crew!  This is the (hour long; yes, a legitimately full hour long) lunch line for the Korean diner HRD.  The kimchi burritos and Mongolian cheesesteak sammies are TOTALLY worth it!

Welp, that's all for now folks!  Gotta go get ready for work -- big sales planned for today!
