This page had been updated and changed countless times…here’s the latest description of what’s going on! (As of 2011)
Deranged Designs is a one-woman business owned by me, Annie Rose. I run everything out of a small sewing shop behind my bedroom in a punk house located in Sacramento, California.
I’m 22 years old and I have been designing and sewing clothes since the age of thirteen. Right now my website is small, but my goal is to sell a much bigger selection of handmade, customizable outfits that are manufactured in my own sewing shop. In the future I want to move into a commercial space so I have room for more industrial sewing machines, and so I can use a decent-sized cutting table. I don’t want to outsource to a third-world factory and sell thousands of my designs to stores in the mall. I want to keep things small, so I don’t go crazy and so I don’t feel pressured to follow fashion trends.
So far I have managed to make a small living off this website. I have never had a real job, and I love being my own boss. I plan to do whatever it takes to get my business out of this smelly old house and turn this into a real career. I recently got AA degrees in fashion design and merchandising at my local community college. I plan to keep taking more business classes and see where I end up.
If you want to know more about me and my business, check out my blog! I post updates several times a month. I blog about new clothing for sale and about my day to day life. I can be pretty weird and obnoxious, so I hope you find my thoughts to be entertaining and not offensive. But I can’t make any promises…

HERE'S ME! No, the helmet is not required. This silly picture was taken several years ago when some of my friends starting hanging out while I was sewing. Working from home can be difficult!
