I started my brand, D.Auxilly with a  $300 investment in a Kenmore sewing machine, and has been designing by faith ever since. Self-taught, I began making my own designs, wearing them to local parties where my designs generated interest in young women.  At age 21, she took a leap of faith and decided to drop out of college and open a boutique in Westchester, New York. There, I designed custom clothing for women of all sizes. Two years later, I relocated to Midtown Manhattan.
