For years, I watched roller derby in Austin from afar, always being concerned about not being cool enough, athletic enough, or fun enough to fit into the scene. How did these women have so much confidence and a no f*cks given attitude? I desperately wanted to know, but I was afraid to get too close. And Lord knows I didn't know how to roller skate. So, I just fan girled in the cheap seats.

Fast forward about 5 years. I found out that a league just a few minutes from my house was having a 6-week bootcamp. What's the worst that could happen? If I showed up and was totally out of my element, I could ghost them and hide under a blanket on my sofa for the next month and a half. But if I liked the vibe, it could totally change my life.

Fast forward 6 more years. Here I am, a woman completely in love with the person I have become through roller derby. My only regret is that I waited so long to find out that actually everyone fits into the roller derby scene. I'm cultivating the confidence and the no f*cks given attitude that I once admired from a distance, but I've learned that I can ALSO be supportive and caring to the close group of friends that I never would have otherwise met. Through derby, we can be all things, y'all.

When I became ready to wear roller derby on my sleeve (or, I guess my chest), I noticed that there was not a lot of roller derby and skate themed apparel that was fashionable and cool. No one wants to spend a lot of time working on their look to then wear an "Eat. Sleep. Derby." t-shirt. So, I started designing products for people who have a different aesthetic, and Track Cut was born.

My goal with Track Cut is to give you designs that reflect the fun, confident, badass skater that I know you are. I want you to be able to show off your personality in your own style while still giving a subtle shout out to your love of skating. Because, do you actually play roller derby or skate if you don't tell everyone that you play roller derby and skate? The world may never know.

If you have questions or want me to design something specific for you, please reach out!
