About Me

The Ripple & Co. Story

I’m often asked what led to this current journey. As with many life stories, a “perfect storm” of change.

I was travelling often and couldn’t find a bag that met my needs. So I designed what I thought would be just a bag for me. One bag, the original “Jude” bag…. and then I discovered that it met the needs of others. I listened, absorbed, observed and continued to develop Ripple & Co. into the brand it is today.

My Why

I love the connections.. with the customers and the talented people who interpret my designs and bring them to life.

And my appreciation of friends and family who have stood by me and contributed to this journey….. and it became “us”.

Starting this journey over the age of 60 has brought many challenges that tested my commitment. It has also been one of the most expansive experiences of my life, stretching and shaping who I am.

I hope my story might spark an idea, a passion, and a belief in what’s possible - at any age.
