The founder, Gwen has over 9 years experience in pattern making for small independent fashion designers. In addition, she has a bachelor in Business Management and over 10 years of fashion retail and wholesale management experience. Because of her background, Gwen has a high level of understanding regarding all aspects of the fashion business.

Gwen’s pattern making career began in San Francisco where she attended a pattern making trade school called Apparel Arts. She then went to work for Nooworks, an artist driven locally manufactured clothing line, as a part-time pattern maker and full-time business operations manager. Within a year she was promoted to head pattern maker and production manager. She would have likely stayed there forever if it weren’t for her relocation to Vancouver, BC.

After relocating to Vancouver , Gwen took some time off to be a mom to her son Clyde. In the last year, she has helped launch 5 new emerging clothing lines. She recently opened a studio in the heart of Cambie Village with a full Gerber AccuMark set up. She plans to focus on local sustainable and ethically driven brands and is able to pattern everything including accessories, evening wear, women’s wear, children’s clothing and dog attire.
