Bronwen Robbins
Bronwen Robbins was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1981 and she continued to live there until the year 1990, when her family moved to the small Caribbean island of Jamaica. Three years later, her family moved back to Fredericton, much to the elation of the young girl who missed snow and root beer.
In 2002, she graduated from the New Brunswick Collage of Craft and Design, with a major in Surface Design. Not ready to face the real world yet, she returned to NBCCD during the winter semester to take corseting in 2005 and discovered a talent and love for costume design.
The following fall, she enrolled in the Fashion Design studio, pursuing an interest in costume design. She graduated from the program in 2007 with Honours and Principal's Distinction and began working with costumes and clothing for Asian ball jointed dolls. After some coaxing from staff at the school, she returned for the 2011-2012 school year as a graduate student. She graduated with Honors from the program on June 15, 2012 and is very excited about the future of her business.
