MELISSA: Tell me about how Rivet? How did you start it and how did you come up with the name? 
DAUN: I was schoolteacher in my previous life, and I knew I did not want to be a schoolteacher any longer. After raising 5 kids, I knew I was done. I have moved a lot and have decorated a ton of houses. I knew I did not want to do that again, so three years ago I was at a JTD Halloween parade (my kids school), and I watched this pack of fourth grade girls dressed like Rosie the Riveter come out and I turned to a friend and was like “I am going to make jumpsuits.” There was something about watching those young girls that was so powerful, they were cute and confident. There was just something about that moment that started my journey. 
I wanted to dive into the journey of learning, and I wanted to figure it out myself. I loved learning so much about this city, as I am not from here. My nephew and I did all this research, and we found this incredible place in downtown LA called The Evans Group— it is a one stop shop. They are incredible, super helpful, and I have all these ideas of what I wanted this jumpsuit to look like. I tried to home in on the fit— it took two years. I was loving the experience of developing the jumpsuit. Flashforward a few months, and we had a flood in our house! Water gushing from every vent! I had to put jumpsuits on hold as we re-built this house. The universe was telling me I shouldn’t do jumpsuits. Then COVID hits and it was a trifecta effect. The summer after COVID, I was in the Hamptons and a friend said to me “Daun you need to launch your jumpsuits!. Our website was live on September 27th during COVID. It then started growing organically, I was adamant about it resonating with people naturally and really set out to have a great product where people would open the box and say that they underpaid for it and are psyched to have it. I want people to love it, feel good in it, and feel confident.
