Bio: Meet Valerie Mayén, the Latinx woman behind Yellowcake and a strong supporter of our local community. Our team is diverse and bold, mostly women, people of color, and LGBTQ members. We make high-quality, handmade clothes in the Midwest for all people and body types. Each piece is carefully made with great detail, quality, and classic style, helping you show your unique look with confidence. Valerie’s love for fashion grew despite a strict upbringing. She studied illustration at the Cleveland Institute of Art and Otis College of Art and Design, then turned to fashion. With limited funds, she learned to make clothes, sold her designs on Etsy, and gained international fame through Project Runway.
