Introducing Carley Lake and Tanya Dastyar! Lucky Sweater provides the tools and space for creating delightful groups dedicated to trading items, advice, and inspiration. Founded to help people reconnect with their passions and find others who share those interests, Lucky Sweater is about more than just what we wear and own—it's about building communities around the things you love. The platform offers a space for users to learn, grow, trade, and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. Carley Lake, Co-Founder and CEO, is the guiding force behind founding Lucky Sweater. Her professional journey began as a digital strategist at Ogilvy & Mather, working with prominent clients like SC Johnson, Ford, Kimberly Clark, and Jim Beam. Carley was one of the first 500 employees at Uber, where she co-launched Uber Eats and led Uber’s global safety marketing and initiatives. Her diverse experiences have equipped her with the skills and vision to lead Lucky Sweater towards creating a sustainable fashion community. Tanya Dastyar, Co-Founder and CTO, brings her passion for user-centered design and technical expertise to Lucky Sweater. With a B.Sc. in Computer Science, Tanya led product definition at Microsoft for 0 to 1 incubator teams like Microsoft Managed Desktop and innovated on products like Microsoft News and the Edge homepage. After focusing on UX and UI design as a freelancer, she joined Carley to build Lucky Sweater. Tanya’s skills in product design, technical knowledge, and commitment to user-first experiences are central to developing the innovative tools and spaces that Lucky Sweater offers. The Lucky Sweater App is a haven for slow fashion, handmade, vintage, and outdoor gear enthusiasts, where users can share clothes, supplies, brand advice, and inspiration. It connects passionate individuals, helping them discover their next favorite brands and fostering a sense of brand loyalty. By prioritizing community and meaningful connections, Lucky Sweater aims to transform the way people connect and consume and bring you a community for any of your favorite things.
