TESTIMONIALS

"It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Sirpa.  I've had the pleasure of working with Sirpa for the past 5 years, first at Goodbaby International and currently as a consultant. Throughout our relationship I've been particularly impressed by Sirpa's ability to identify and apply the most relevant trends to the project at hand—effortlessly raising the bar."

Bryce Gibson

-Co-founder/Principal Designer, Boston Labs Design and Development

 

I worked alongside Sirpa for a few years at Goodbaby, the world’s largest juvenile product company.

Of all the fashion folks I have worked with over 25 years, Sirpa is by far one of the most passionate and talented designers. Her dedication, hard work and creative vision produces beautiful products with an international flair.

At the end of the day, fashion can make or break a product’s success… and I’ve witnessed Sirpa’s designs winning over our management, the team members…and most importantly, the buyers at the major retail accounts. I highly recommend working with Sirpa if you want your products to be awesome!
