Meet The Team

    Founder / Sole Proprietor

    I grew up in Southern California and have always been an advocate for bicycles and public transportation. I started as a commuter, but after graduating from Cal Poly Pomona with a bachelor's degree in marketing, I sought more in life and found it in bikes. Joining clubs like the LA Knight Riders, Team Fubar, Team Cretins, and others, I have learned so much about who I am both on and off the bike.

    I am entirely self-taught in sewing and began this journey just wanting to make bags for friends. Although I no longer know the name of everyone who has one of my bags, I see everyone who has one as a friend. I am forever grateful for the communities who have supported me over the years and for those who continue to support me on this journey.

    Capitalist Cat / Fluff Donor

    "Meow meow meow, meow meow."

    A second chance kitty adopted in 2023 from the Portland Human Society. She's more than just a shop kitty, she's an essential part of the PNX Bags team. Rumor on the streets is if you're lucky enough to find some of her fluff on your bag you'll be blessed with happy rides for many miles!
