HAVE WE MET?

I’m Shannon Lohr, the founder of Factory45

For the past 9+ years, I’ve worked with hundreds of new designers to launch or grow their brands in a way that’s better for people and planet.

I’m a bi-coastal educator, writer, speaker and advocate for sustainable fashion. When I’m not behind my computer screen, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids — and traveling as often as possible.
