Linda is the Founder and CEO of GLOV N L.L.C. She attended FIDM from 1980 to 1982 and brings more than 30 years of experience in fashion design and product development.
“I created GLOV N out of frustration of losing gloves and noticing people pull their sleeves over their hands when they are cold. I turned that everyday behavior into a patented wearable technology solution.”
As the creator and patent holder of GLOV N®, Linda is focused on licensing the system to established apparel brands.
