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.
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, experimenting in mixed media and being inspired by nature.
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.
SHAELA
E-Commerce Supervisor
Shaela oversees the day-to-day operations of our online store, from managing order fulfillment and inventory to supporting the systems and processes that keep our online storefront running smoothly. Outside of work, 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.
MELINA
Merchandising & Volunteer Supervisor
Melina is part designer, part business brain, and fully obsessed with keeping OSF running smoothly. Coming from a family of makers, she naturally inherited a love for creativity and craftsmanship. Melina loves curating the store’s buttons, zippers, and unique treasures. Her superpower? Making OSF look amazing while rescuing forgotten gems, one sewing supply at a time.
TYLER
Donations Coordinator & Operations Assistant
Got a donation? Leave it to Tyler! With a diploma in Costume Design, he uses his knowledge to test and sort all fabrics coming into OSF. When he isn’t carrying bolts or helping the storefront, you can find him eating donair and sewing costumes for local drag performers.
HEATHER
E-Commerce Coordinator
Heather works on the e-commerce team with a love for thoughtful organized systems, increasing efficiency in workflows, and all the little details that help things run smoothly behind the scenes. Outside of work, she can usually be found knitting, tending to her plants, exploring the outdoors, and collecting inspiration for her next handmade project.
PAIGE
E-Commerce Coordinator & Marketing Assistant
Need photos? Paige has got you! She's behind all our beautiful product imagery. As a thrifty creative with a background in art, design, and non-profit work, she is so excited to get to use her abilities towards creating a more sustainable future (and stocking up on fabric for all her projects).
