Bridget Fetterly
Founder & President of Kane & Fetterly
After graduating from McGill University with a degree in Art History, she travelled to Florence Italy to study fine arts and graphic design. Through her studies and travels she was exposed to the Italian tradition of intentionally adding an artistic flare to everyday events. She was amazed by how a creative person could take any venue and transform it into a setting that impacted people on a deeply emotional level.
With that as a goal, she returned to Montreal to study Interior Design at the International Academy of Design and Technology. Upon completion of the program her vision was to start a business that created beautiful transformational experiences.
