Colleen
General Manager
Colleen is thrilled to have found her dream job at OSF, where she can combine her love of fabric with her passion for data and spreadsheets! When she's not busy managing the shop or creating a new dress, she's at home enjoying extreme cuddles with her new puppy, Johnnie.

Sally
Revenue Operations Manager
With a background in sustainable fashion, Sally is thrilled to be supporting the community from the other side of the process! When she’s not busy at OSF, she loves quilting with her two cats and a good British murder mystery in the background.

 

Gemma
Marketing and Communications Manager
If you’ve ever read our newsletter, seen a social media post, or sent us a DM, chances are Gemma’s been involved! Gemma has brought her experience in the not-for-profit sector to OSF, blending it with her love of sewing for what she calls the perfect job. Outside of work, Gemma loves sewing everyday basics and exploring nature, whether it's by the ocean or hiking in the forest.

Shaela
Fulfillment Associate
Shaela is the one who carefully picks and packs all your online orders, ensuring that our fabrics find their way to new homes across Canada. With a keen eye for detail, she makes sure each package is just right before sending it off. When she’s not packing orders she can be found with her cats and dogs either in the garden or at the sewing machine, keeping up with her business making plant-dyed handmade goodies.
