About the Maker(s)

Thomas Maiorana Thomas Maiorana
Tom has more industrial sewing machines than neckties. He loves shoes, but he thinks feet are weird and he's jealous of left-handed people. Nearly all of Tom's shoemaking knowledge comes from Gaza Bowen, an incredible artist, shoemaker and person. He hopes he can share some of what she knew. Tom has an MFA in Design from Stanford University. He lives with an amazing partner and their two cats in Oakland, California.
