Greer Woollcott lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with her partner Tobin. She comes from a family of creative and skilled women where she learned she could make anything if she set her mind to it. She studied fine arts and art history for 2 years at Concordia University and then changed programs and attended the Ontario College of Art and Design and pursued a degree in Environmental Design. She started her career as a kitchen designer, went into commercial interior design then material sales for the design industry as a rep for architectural panels. After reuniting with her love for sewing she took a leave from work in 2021 and went to the UK to pursue a diploma in curtain making and soft furnishings as well as some upholstery training. Since then she has been building her workroom business part time as she goes on the adventure of building a business from scratch, fabricating, and continuing to learn the craft.
