“Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further.”

-Rainer Marie Rilke

Cosette Designs was founded prior to Covid, in honor of my grandmother, who taught me the power of tenacity, which served me well, as my three young children and myself fled domestic violence one winter night, many years ago.

My vision, after finding a sense of stability, was to help other survivors in ways in which I could. To honor this promise to myself, I partnered with Women's Advocates, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, the first domestic violence shelter in the nation, opening its doors in 1974. 1% of all sales is donated directly to Women's Advocates, creating “a path to healing and self-determination for individuals leaving abusive relationships.”
