Her father, Simon Paul,[5] is Dene from English River First Nation and a former student of the Beauval Indian Residential School.

[11][12] In 2011, she self-presented her first collection entitled "End of Summer"[13] and the following year she began experimenting with multi-disciplinary, conceptual and collaborative approaches in fashion performance, bringing together Indigenous artists in fashion, craft, dance, and music, to present her collection "Synaptic City."

[15] She and her collaborators created programming to sustain traditional Indigenous practices in fashion like hide tanning, beading, quilling, and sewing.
