Chamber celebrates local fashion designer’s success
Melissa Squire may have started her life planning to be a doctor, but her love for art and design led her on a new course and a successful career in business.
“I decided to follow my passion, which is creating, anything really, and fashion found me,” she said.
From North Battleford, Squire shared her story with the Battlefords Chamber of Commerce members and guests at Tuesday’s luncheon – called Holly and Heels – a Celebration of Women in Business at Chapel Gallery.
Squire said her Ukrainian grandmother gave her her first sewing machine when she was nine-years-old, and she began honing her craft as a designer.
