Hey, I'm Jess! I'm a lifelong sewist based in a bright, colorful studio in SE Portland. I created Cacta in 2021- bags made from Desserto cactus leather, a vegan alternative made from prickly pear cactus. 

As an artist full of ideas, I wanted to play with more materials: upcycled textiles, leather, and more.

So Yell Mfg was born to encompass a wider variety of offerings!
