Hi, I’m Gina!
After 19 years of working in the garment industry, I’m happy to share my patternmaking and sewing techniques with you. My journey in the industry started at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC where I studied.
I then worked in high fashion fitting beautiful gowns and tailored women’s suits. After moving to California, I worked for Oakley & then at Vans, creating Snowboarding outerwear and surf boardshorts. Then, moved to Germany where I worked freelance and started GRD.
And finally, I moved to Switzerland where I led a talented team of Pattern Makers at a Sportswear brand for 7 years. I’m now running GRD full-time and loving the connections in this community.
I love hiking, swimming, stand up paddle boarding, skiing, and cycling in the beautiful nature of Switzerland.

It's a feeling of happiness to create and sew. Sewing allows the imagination to flourish which brings fulfillment and gives a sense of accomplishment. For so many people, sewing is that happy place. It s getting into that creative flow where time doesn't exist and problems seem to disappear. The result is amazing. When you try that item on after you 've finished it, there is nothing better than feeling 100% YOU. You 've designed it with your fabric combinations and it fits you.
