Season 3
I'm Elijah David Borja, a creative from Colorado, who's been exploring design since I was a child. From playing with cardboard to diving into fashion, my creativity has always flowed without limits. Design, to me, is life itself – it's in every conversation, every building, and every business plan. I believe in creating without boundaries, embracing any medium that allows me to express myself fully. I desire to push the limits of creativity.

Hello! My name is Grant Patterson, and I’m from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am the owner and creative director of Created One of One, a clothing brand of reworked, repurposed, 1/1 items that are sustainable and purpose-driven. Every single piece that is made is manufactured completely in-house. This allows me to make each item 100% unique every time, just like the customer. A portion of every collection is given to a charitable cause related to the collection that provides a commentary on similar social issues/situations in the world.

Sydney learned how to sew from her good friend Sue, an elderly woman who lived down the street from her family back in CO. They would spend afternoons listening to Johnny Mathis cassettes tapes and enjoying each others company and wisdom. Sue unfortunately passed away in July and Sydney’s work for this line is in memory of that sweet sweet woman.
Charlie has spent the last few years building the ‘Bucket’ brand which he has used for both his clothing and music. There has been a lot of experimentation and self learning that has lead to pieces you see today which vary greatly but tend to hold roots in the realm of functional and sustainable fashion.
These two have been a part of each others lives for a while now but discovered their love for sewing as individuals. Both designers work almost exclusively with Goodwill sourced materials. Because their creative ideas tend to mesh and overlap in so many ways, they chose to join forces once again for ATLAS season IV. ‘Be present, enjoy the moment, breathe deep.’

Hi! I’m Lily DeHaan, the creator and designer for lillian’s. I am originally from a small town in Iowa but stayed in Arizona after graduating from GCU.
Clothing has always served as my creative outlet. It began with my mom, one of my greatest teachers and supporter. Her mom taught her how to sew and she passed that down to me.
For as long as I can remember, my free time was spent “playing with clothes” as my mom would call it. I would spend hours, procrastinating my homework or bedtime, going back and forth from my mom’s closet, sister’s closet and my own trying to put new outfits together. Later that grew into doing a thrift flip project in high school that inspired lily_wears.
Now, lillian’s is a mixture of thrift flips and pieces made from scratch. It represents beauty, maturity, and joy. I want lillian’s to inspire others to be confident in what they are wearing and have fun with their outfits!
