THE DESIGNER

Aminah Abdul Jillil is the founder and creative director of her eponymous brand, overseeing all categories including design, marketing, and development. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Aminah pursued her early passion for dance and performing arts. She fulfilled her lifelong dream in dance and entertainment, performing with some of the biggest names in music including Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, and later with Cirque du Soleil.

Aminah began her career as a footwear designer in 2012 when she launched her namesake company. Using her love of costumes, movement, and performance, she transitioned into the fashion industry without traditional training in business or design. Constructing her very first prototypes by hand, Aminah brought her vision to life. Her early experiences in dance and performance provided the tools to live in the creative space of expression and freedom, marking the beginning of her journey.

What makes Aminah’s designs unique is her excitement to “try something different,” believing that getting lost in the moment and the details is a wonderful place to be found. Every shoe reflects an attention to detail that sets her apart in the vast world of fashion and footwear.
