Hello! I’m Hayley Parent, a fourth-year Textile Design student at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, pursuing an Honors Bachelor of Arts in Crafts and Design. I love surface design—whether digitally or by hand—and enjoy manipulating natural and synthetic fibers through dyeing, sewing, and weaving. In addition to my academic work, I’ve gained hands-on experience in customer-focused roles, including a Service Advisor position at Aritzia, freelance painting, and a Customer Service Advisor role at Mountain Equipment Company.
