our team

Catherine Métivier et Anne-Marie Laflamme, fondatrices atelier b

Catherine and Anne-Marie are the designers and founders. As well as design, which they do together, Catherine is also responsible for production and quality, while Anne-Marie is in charge of communications and sales. Running a small business means wearing many hats! They complement each other both in their friendship and in their professional lives. They want atelier b to be a friendly, welcoming place to work, where everyone can develop according to their interests and strengths. Positions are always changing and evolving with the members of the team.

Annik St-Arnaud, atelier b

We've been lucky enough to work with Annik since 2017. You've probably already heard her infectious laugh! A project manager for atelier b, she's always on the lookout for social trends and keeps us up to date. Together with Clara, she's also in charge of making our place unique; her artistic vision is reflected in the presentation of the boutique and the window displays.

If you've visited the shop, you'll probably have had the chance to meet Clara. She's in charge of answering your questions online and on the phone, and welcoming you to the shop. She prepares the parcels with care and always tries to find a solution to make you happy! We appreciate her thoroughness, creativity and inclusive values.

Maxim Leith, atelier b

Maxim did a placement at the workshop in the summer of 2021 and has been part of the family ever since! At first sight, he's rather reserved and discreet, but Max deserves to be known. Curious, motivated and committed, he's the kind of person who surprises us with his dedication and skills. Passionate about sustainable development, he welcomes you to the shop and answers your questions about care, provenance and quality. He also helps to create content and has a talent for photography that deserves to be shared.

Rose joined the team just after her fashion design internship at Cégep Marie-Victorin. She and Catherine understand each other so well, they wanted to continue working together! She works as a production assistant in the workshop, cutting, counting and sewing. We love her gentleness, her calm, her professionalism and her pastries too!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken part in the workshop in the past. You've made a difference and we appreciate everything you've given us.
