About Dr. Sew & Sew
Dr. Jennifer Risk
I’m Jennifer Risk, a queer femme sewing instructor and maker living in Victoria, BC. Before teaching, I spent eight years in costume design, including four years in the Portland Opera Costume Shop, where I learned to shape garments for real bodies in motion and to collaborate across creative teams. I now serve as Department Head of Fashion Design at Pacific Design Academy and also lead the sewing program at the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria. I earned my PhD in Geography in 2021, then returned to the work that feels like home: fibre arts, craft, and community.
