Hunter, born in South Carolina, designed and draped Barbie Dolls with leftover fabric and trim from her mother's sewing room. Recognizing a "couture" look that Barbie possessed, Hunter continued to pursue fashion at ayoung age by constantly sketching and designing her own clothes.

A perfectionist for fit, style and color, she pursued an undergraduate degree in fashion design and studio art at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. During those four years she yearned for more, and set out for the Big Apple where she interned for fashion designers Nanette Lepore and Rebecca Taylor. Both designers proved to be inspirations.

After completing her undergraduate degree, she headed back to New York to pursue her lifelong dream. Hunter's passion to produce and create her own unique "couture" look has been fueled by her experience as a women's contemporary and technical designer, in addition to her continuing studies at the Parsons School of Design.

Jennifer grew up in North Carolina with an entrepreneurial spirit. At an early age, Jennifer took special interest in her father's textile company, accompanying him on business trips and helping develop products. By observing her father's grass-roots approach to building a business, she gleaned the importance of being involved in all tangible aspects of creating a product.

Jennifer received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a postgraduate degree at the University of Spain in Seville. Jennifer lived in Europe before moving to New York and has traveled to over twenty-five countries around the world, counting traveling her number one passion. Past and present multicultural experiences inspire Jennifer's eye for unique fabric selections. Additionally, modeling in high school and after college developed Jennifer's appreciation and discernment for fine fabrics and quality tailoring. Prior to co-founding Hunter Dixon, Jennifer worked in fashion and advertising sales.
