Why did you start your company?

Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, I’m definitely a Canadian West-coaster. You can occasionally catch me saying, ‘eh’, but that’s probably the extent of my obvious Canadianness. No, I don’t live in an igloo!

The various jobs I hold are: mommy, wife, writer, site administrator/webmaster (I own and run The Official Jeaniene Frost Fansite), graphic artist (cover art/author promo work), chauffeur, maid, tech-nerd, waitress (or as my daughter likes to call out while eating dinner — SERVER!), hopeless romantic, star gazer, storm watcher, sensitive crab.

HOW SYD GILL DESIGNS CAME TO BE

Growing up my mom put me in all sorts of classes – clay sculpting, pottery, watercolor painting, oil painting. She also definitely catered to my need for sparkles as evidenced by our permanently bedazzled coffee table. It was a dream come true for an only child and I cut, created, painted, glued to my hearts delight.

Later on in my youth, I moved on to bigger scopes of design. Specifically interior design. I had an infinity to arrange and rearrange any room someone would let me. Bedrooms, living rooms…anything I could reorganize and “make better” I did. And I did this every few months, much to the dismay of my husband who became my official mover.

When I had my second daughter I was trapped on the couch breastfeeding her, a lot! I had my laptop but couldn’t type — you kinda need two hands for that! What I could do was play around with photoshop. One thing led to another and my friends and family began pushing me to offer my services. I did my first cover back in 2010 and the rest is history!
