Deborah Edwards

Deborah grew up surrounded by textiles thanks to parents in fashion design, and as a teen she was already hunting flea markets and thrift stores for vintage fabric and lace. That early passion became a lifelong career, beginning with a textile design degree from the Ontario College of Art and Design.

After more than two decades as VP of Design for an international company, Deborah has created fabric, bedding, wallcovering, and rug collections, including work for brands tied to Martha Stewart and Jaclyn Smith. She has also been an active member and chair holder of the Color Marketing Group for many years. Now as Design Director at Northcott, Deborah creates her own collections while also collaborating with and supporting designers across many creative disciplines.
