Jessie Becker has always had an eye for fashion, but what she had less of an eye for was putting her ideas into action. She often found that the procrastinator in her was a little too proficient at putting things off.
“My passion for fashion design was always there; I had just always underestimated time.” It was only after graduation and a life-changing tragedy that Jessie realized life was too fragile and fleeting to get in her own way. Her view transformed, she started sewing, got on Facebook and went into business.
Two handmade bikinis and a fan page launched what’s now Ravish Sands Swimwear. Born on the beaches of South Florida, Ravish suits are worn by women around the world. Creating beach resort suits as well as custom competition swimwear, Jessie owes much of her success to a whole lot of drive, a little bit of law-breaking and the realization that even a bit of failure will make your company better.
