I have been a graphic designer and accessory designer in the fashion industry in NYC for over 15 years now. The line was born in the fall of 2004 and started with a core collection of 10 cases. With showing at trade shows and at adult, fetish, and BDSM vending events, I have listened carefully to customer feedback and the interest in larger cases and cases for floggers, canes and riding crops. Realizing there is a demand for storage cases of this nature, I expanded the collection and now have a great line of 15 different cases in a variety of colors.

For Your Nymphomation is a collection of storage cases I designed to store condoms, pads and tampons, adult toys and novelties and anything else that an individual would like to keep private. Almost all cases come with a lock and 2 keys for privacy. I designed the collection with good quality faux leathers, water resistant nylon linings that easily wash up with soap & water, and glow-in-the-dark zipper pullers (so you can find your case in the dark "in the heat of the moment").

The For Your Nymphomation collection was created thinking of the privacy of people, particularly parents, college students, and for people who live with roommates. Having worked in the fashion industry for years and having made many overseas connections, I knew that I'd have my own collection someday. I never dreamed it would be a collection of cases for such a controversial use, however I feel that selling cases of this nature was a special niche market - no one was out there selling these types of cases. Since fashion trends come & go, I designed these cases to be less trend driven and more function driven. After all, cases storing adult toys shouldn't be very flashy and attract attention if you want to be discreet about what's inside.

The most frequent design nightmares I've dealt with is the factory not carefully following instructions and sending incorrect samples (whether new development or pre-production samples) which has resulted in paying high freight charges for cases that have to be remade over and over wasting valuable time & money. When you're dealing with factories in China, there is a language barrier to a certain degree, so the more simple my spec sheets are, with more detailed illustrations, and the more simply I explain the construction, the better the samples come out, but not always unfortunately.

My greatest achievement is bringing my creative vision to life and increasing my sales year after year. Getting such positive feedback from customers and being congratulated on designing a collection with such unique, thoughtful and much needed storage cases has made this all worth it. Making the switch from the Fashion Industry to the "Adult" Industry has been a really great experience, I've met the most interesting, friendly, and open minded people, many of whom I now call my friends and look forward to seeing at the next B to B trade show.
