Today we’d like to introduce you to Lindsay Merowitz. Them and their team share their story with us below:
There are always signs – foreshadowing if you will- of where we are meant to be in life. Unknowingly Lindsay’s sign came to her at the early age of 9 as she tie-dyed her first t-shirt at Camp Vega.
Lindsay grew up in Brookline, MA. She graduated from Syracuse University and went on to earn her Master’s in Integrated Marketing Communications from Emerson College. Lindsay thrived in a successful marketing and advertising career for over 11 years. In 2011 Lindsay married the only man who could constantly keep her laughing, David, and together they have two tie dyers in training, Zachary and Ava. While their family grew, Lindsay took a leave from her busy career never imagining that tie dye would bring her back into the workforce.
During Lindsay’s time off from advertising she found herself one day, with her son at a friend’s 5th birthday party, tie dying. Vivid images of that summer in 1993 where Lindsay tie-dyed her first shirt flooded her mind and she knew she needed to find a way to bring tie-dye back into her life. Lindsay bought a small tie-dye kit and began created pajamas for her children which expanded into requested items for friends and family. Before she knew it, her small hobby grew into what you now see before you today as Tyed With Love.
Lindsay loves the creativity that now spills into her daily life, the nostalgia of the 60s (or in Lindsay’s case the 90s), and the simplicity of making people smile. She enjoys customizing each piece to meet the preferences of every customer, knowing that no two will ever be the same. Looking back, no one could have ever known that the moment nine-year-old Lindsay tie-dyed her first piece would be such an integral part of who she was meant to be. Lindsay will continue to treasure that moment and all things Tyed With Love.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been a wild ride, but it just keeps getting better!
I always find ways to pivot and make things better whenever I can!
Tyed with Love opened its first storefront a year ago as a pop-up that was supposed to last a month or two and we stayed for 8 months. Now in looking for our next move, it’s been a long process but we fortunate to do many things on a mobile basis!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I love being able to create clothing, accessories, and an artistic experience for everyone I come into contact with!
I am most proud of being able to create this experience both in person, on zoom, and through so many different apparel and accessory pieces.
I also love giving back and being able to design clothing and limited-edition pieces for charities as well as people for people who need support!
What makes you happy?
I love what I do! Some days are harder than others but at the end of the day, I am so proud of the work I have done to create Tyed with Love!
They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life, and I believe that!
