EPISODE 12 // Connecting With Your Online Community // Ali Eagen
Ali Eagen is the owner of Buffalo Indie Weddings and Made by Anatomy. After receiving a degree from FIT in fashion design and working in corporate fashion, she moved back home to Buffalo, NY to start her own company.
Over the last 9 years, she has been working with brides to create one-of-a-kind custom and reconstructed wedding gowns. It was this work with brides that led her to realize the need for a better way to connect with the kinds of brides who wanted her service, so she and her then-partner created Buffalo Indie Weddings. BIW is a resource for engaged couples of WNY to inspire and connect them to the best, more unique and non-traditional wedding vendors in the area.
She has a young family and teaches part-time at Buffalo State College in the fashion department.
