Trash Queen was created by me, Paige McKinney. I'm a plus sized, disabled, 25 year old graphic designer and illustrator, and I also run a fashion blog in my spare time. I'm the sole owner, maker, designer, fulfiller, everything! By day, I work as a graphic designer for a major lingerie company, and by night (and weekends!) I work on all aspects of the business--I design the website, write all the copy, make advertising materials, design the clothing, physically make a lot of the items, and I pack up all the items and take them to the post office! My finger print is on every part of the business, from the concepting stage of me making the clothing, to me trimming excess threads off of garments before packing them up and sealing them with a cute little logo sticker to get back out to you.

I started selling items under the shop name "Trash Queen" online in 2014, and started out selling just a few small accessories, intending to sell clothes as soon as I possibly could. As the shop grew, I was able to sell tshirts, and then more complex garments like skater dresses, skirts, and tights. Every year the business and my vision for it grows a bit more!
