The Love of Creativity & Sewing
The RedWing Design Working Studio is located on the Tamaya Land, the Pueblo of Santa Ana, and is owned by Shirley Pino, a Tribal member. RedWing Design began in 1997, designing contemporary clothing for stage performers, then began to design custom orders for street wear and Traditional wear, and incorporated other projects with embroidery, weaving and other needlework craft. In 2019, the name changed to RedWing Collections.
Since her youth days, Shirley's inspirations come from the Tamaya land, the Tamaya culture and the Tamaya language. The visions from meditation, prayers and manifestations are incorporated into any RedWing garment or project. The biggest inspiration comes from her late mother, Felicita Pino. Her mother was talented with designing, sewing and embroidering many different types of contemporary and traditional attire. Shirley credits all of her teachings to her late mother, as she taught her the precise, intricate and loving ways to continue sewing with machine and hand needlework.
RedWing gives back to the community with donations, as well as setting up community events for the elders and youth. She also supports different groups and organizations, with her time and in being a guest speaker or a mentor. Shirley Pino appreciates each and every person in her life that inspire her on a daily basis. She is most thankful for the love and support that comes from community members, family and especially children that also inspire her to continue her craft that she immensely enjoys.
