Team Twisted
Twisted's staff members are here to help!
When Anna isn't knitting, you might find her out and about playing trombone and singing vintage swing music, dressed in the legal limit of sequins. She might also be burning up the karaoke stage with her comedian husband, Leo.
Anny is a transplant from the Midwest and started working at Twisted just a few days after arriving in Portland. She knits, crochets, and is absolutely obsessed with hand dyers!
Carol is Twisted's tech editor extraordinaire (we got her a JaMpdx mug that says so), as well as stock girl, painter, life coach, curtain-ironer, and all around mom. That's because she is, in fact, Emily's mom. Many of Twisted's mantras started as her pearls of wisdom - including "touch it once", "let's make a list", and "it'll never be as good as it is right now". She visits us, and ensures we eat regular healthy meals, every few months.
DAWN - Facilities Manager, Customer Service Pro
Dawn was born a Midwesterner who is a Portlander at heart. True to that she has tried it all- knitting, sewing, needle felting, jewelry making, baking, pickling, canning, fermenting... She lives in the neighborhood with her bike commuting husband, singing/soccer daughter and gaming daughter. When not at the store, she is watching movies, reading fabulously trashy romances and forcing her kids on hikes.
Though a Hoosier by birth, college at Stanford introduced Emily to the west coast and it stuck. During a year abroad at Oxford, Emily got a very bad haircut from a (still to this day!) very dear friend and resorted to a near buzz cut. The kindhearted English house mother taught her how to knit hats so she didn't freeze while it grew out. Emily enjoys backpacking, playing with technology, gardening, and refinishing furniture. Her person, Kirk, is a musician, writer, and host of your new favorite podcast. Her dog, Appa, is the cutest beastie ever.
