The Beginning
A Mom, a Nurse, and a Birth Doula
Long before Campbell became a brand, caring for women was already shaping my life.
I began my career in fashion design, but a mission to Tanzania before moving to New York changed my trajectory. While working in an orphanage, I met a nurse whose selflessness stayed with me. I returned to New York to finish my fashion design degree, but I knew I was being pulled toward something else.
I became a birth doula, then a nurse, eventually working in Labor & Delivery and postpartum mother-baby care. I loved being beside women during one of the most transformative moments of their lives—helping them recover, adjust, and begin to feel like themselves (again).
Then I became the patient...
The Inspiration
Her Name was Campbell
On December 5, 2014, at 28 weeks pregnant, I went to what should have been a routine appointment. My daughter’s heartbeat could not be found. Her name was Campbell.
Suddenly, I was experiencing the kind of trauma I had only witnessed from the other side of the hospital bed. I understood how vulnerable recovery could be—and how much of it happens after everyone else has gone home.
In the years that followed, I learned I had a clotting disorder and that, in a complicated and heartbreaking way, Campbell’s death may have saved my life. I knew I wanted her life to carry meaning forward.
I went on to have three children, each carrying Campbell as their middle name. And slowly, another way of honoring her began to take shape.
The Creation
Made with Purpose, Inspired by Love
For nearly a decade, I sketched an idea born from everything I knew as a nurse, a mother, a designer, and a woman who had experienced postpartum recovery herself: a better way to support the body after birth.
I wanted to replace the stiff, ill-fitting postpartum binder with something women would actually want to wear and wear it correctly (the why its attached to the garment)—a garment that was exceptionally soft, easy to put on, supportive of a healing core, supportive to the low back and thoughtfully designed for recovery, including after a C-section. Something functional enough for postpartum and beautiful enough to become part of your life beyond it.
After years of sketches, development, and samples, Campbell came to life. I created the garment I wish I had then, and the one I still want to wear now.
