Marie is a Kwantlen alumna with 4 decades of experience in the apparel industry. She graduated with a Diploma in Fashion Design and Technology. Her early career in design and pattern drafting focussed on women’s sportswear and athletic apparel. From there she added children’s, youth, and menswear to her portfolio. That was followed by a side trip into backpacks, tents, lifejackets and military flight suits.
Marie has worked mainly as a pattern technician for MEC, Lululemon, Mustang Survival and CYC Design. She is adept at manual and computer-aided pattern drafting, grading and markers. The last decade has involved freelancing for several local clothing companies.
