A well-known artist and seamstress, Martinez currently works out of her studio in Seattle, Washington. Her eye-catching works of art have attracted fans and followers from beyond the borders of Washington state and the United States.

About eTcTacoma

Founded by Umi Wagoner and Perris Wright, eTcTacoma is a streetwear brand that quite literally began in the streets. The co-founders originally sold their first wears in the halls of their high school and in the parking lot of the Tacoma mall. Since then, the long-time business partners have established eTcTacoma as a leading streetwear brand that focuses on storytelling through clothing. Alongside its online store, eTcTacoma has a boutique in downtown Tacoma, and is only the second streetwear brand to have successfully established a physical location in the area.

Despite eTcTacoma's growing popularity throughout the US and beyond, it continues to produce its designs in limited quantities, making them highly covetable. As a black-owned brand, eTcTacoma continues to focus on its backyard community, supporting and collaborating with local artists and institutions in Tacoma. eTcTacoma is a multiple award-winning brand that is intent on remaining true to its streetwear roots while developing into a premier heritage brand with rarewear products.
