About Kristine Shreve

It feels weird to write about myself in the third person,  but that’s kind of what I’ve been doing lately.  When you write bios for writing and speaking,  you refer to yourself by name.  It’s almost as if you’re talking about another person.   I suppose anyone who writes or speaks for a living experiences that feeling.   There’s the real you,  sitting at home in your sweats,  typing away at whatever work needs to be done,  and there’s the biographical you,  winning awards and writing for prestigious magazines and speaking at cool events.

The stats so far are these. I founded the Women in Garment Decoration group on Facebook.   I was the creator and host of the Women + Business podcast from 2020 to 2022.  I write, or have written for Printwear, Stitches, Wearables, Graphics Pro and Screen Print Magazines and Engraver’s Journal – magazines that serve the garment decoration industry.   I’ve spoken  about social media, marketing and other topics at the Decorated Apparel Expo and Applique Getaway.   I’ve won regional ASPBE gold medals for the Ask an Expert column I wrote for Stitches Magazine and the DecQuorum blog for the same publication.  I was, for 14 years,  Director of Marketing for Ensign Emblem and EnMart,  companies in the garment decoration industry.  I’ve also been involved on working with social media and marketing for Applique Getaway and Lynnie Pinnie Embroidery Designs.

Those are the facts.

Here’s the reality. Storytelling is in my blood.  I’ve been a writer since I could form letters.  I’ve been editing my work, and the work of others almost as long.  I’m interested in teaching businesses about how to be better at and do better with their marketing and social media because I come from a long line of teachers.  Teaching is in my genes.

Do I have all the answers?  Not even close.

Do I know some of the right questions to ask?  Definitely.
