Arla Designs | Specializing in drafting and sewing bespoke, human-like Dog Tuxedos

Hi, I'm Debbie. I’m a professional Pattern Maker who brings ideas to life using Gerber CAD drafting software. I earned my Bachelor's of Applied Design in Fashion Design & Technology from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in 2004 and I have been working in the fashion industry since 2002 and sewing since 1994. Throughout my career, I’ve worked for small startups as well as large corporations like lululemon athletica.

When I was little, I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian but after working part-time at an animal hospital as a teenager, I decided there was too much death and disease, so Design School won out. I love all animals, big and small. I’ve been a mama to fish, a rat, a rabbit, ragdoll cats, and a rescue pittie dog.

I am Mama to a 14yo girl and a 9yo boy. I'm so thankful for my hubby's support.
At night, I work on these Arla Designs dog tuxedos at my home studio in Silver Valley, Maple Ridge.

Thank you for your support.

Convo me with any questions :) Don't be shy! I'm pretty quick to reply.
