Kathy McGee

Kathy McGee, author of The Happy Bicycle, grew up in Minnesota and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design. She has designed apparel and accessories for large retail companies but her love of textiles, handicrafts, and bicycling led her to start her own sewing pattern and fabric design company, Hemma Design. She is passionate about creating functional-yet-fun accessories and draws her inspiration from Scandinavian design and the beautiful contrasting seasons of the northern climate. Kathy lives in Minnesota with her husband, their dog "The Spud", and an ever expanding collection of bicycles. For more information about Hemma Design please visit www.hemmadesign.com.
