Children’s Clothing Designer, Bluebird: My Gig

AC: What don’t you like?

Scarpulla: Nothing. I really love it all. I love that my girls want to be involved in the company one day. I love the people I meet. I love making pretty dresses and watching little girls twirl in front of the mirror in them. I love that I’m making something that doesn’t harm anybody, is made humanely, and right here in San Francisco. It’s hard being in business for oneself and you have to love it, or at least keep a positive outlook when things go wrong, and things often go wrong.

AC: How much money do you make?

Scarpulla: $75K a year.
