Erin, San Francisco, CA “Transilient: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? Erin: A scientist. I wanted to do chemistry, like a mad scientist though. Transilient: Like to stop bad guys? Erin: Yeah, but I think I wanted to be the bad guy probably! [laughs] Yeah, I think what I love about #entrepreneurship in general is that I get to do something new everyday, and it's like a giant problem that always needs to be solved. And it’s just like every day, you wake up and do something new and it’s constantly a #challenge, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Transilient: Do you think that creating #clothing is also a science as well as an #art? Erin: Yeah, and tailoring obviously has such a long history. The more that I learn about the #garment that I’m selling, the more I don’t know anything about what I’m doing. And so I’ve been very lucky to work with #tailors that have really taken me under their wing and taught me quite a bit about the garment and what to do, and I’m constantly in the process of #learning ― and that’s what I most enjoy.” • • • More about Erin: Erin Berg co-founded @KipperClothiers in 2013, following the repeal of Proposition 8, out of a need to create clothing that inspires pride and confidence within the LGBTQ community. Personally frustrated by the lack of options for transgender men looking for high-quality, custom-fitted suits, Berg decided to start Kipper Clothiers to provide a comfortable and safe space that catered to every body type, despite gender identity. • • • #MoreThanTrans #WeAreTransilient #Entrepreneur #ProblemSolver #Creator #Learner #SanFrancisco #California #transgender #LGBT #LGBTQ #tailoring #fashion #business #businessman #transman (at San Francisco, California)
