About
Tina Givens
​
Hi, my name is Tina Givens
I've been immersed in the realms of art and fashion design for most of my life. As an entrepreneur I have touched several categories within the paper, gift, and home-decor industries; the home sewing market, licensed textiles, and apparel design and manufacturing.​
​
My professional background is anchored in business, sales, and marketing. Believe it or not, my academic foundation is in Business and Economics, despite my lifelong passion for fashion. After establishing a successful career in Advertising, Sales, Marketing, and Branding, I was fortunate to take a step back and create my life as a designer.
​
I love to work with organic textiles and I create each garment with scissors and imagination. Stitching each seam and detail is done with passion and energetic enthusiasm. Then we get technical and craft patterns to perfect the garment with all the details and technical diagrams. Our chosen artisans create samples then dye, appliqué, and stitch with precision and care.
​
Collections are created as a mix of pieces that intermingle and work together to create a beautiful capsule wardrobe for each season. The TG Studio also works as my playground to create one-of-a-kind pieces made with imagination and hand-crafted details.
​
I live and work in the beautiful state of Michigan, USA where the weather is unpredictable and provides nature's playgrounds. I have grown children who are all independent and carry the creative gene in their unique ways. My partner is loving and generous and he understands my need to create. I am a lucky lady!
​
Much love from me,
tg
