CPC WOMEN IN BUSINESS DECEMBER PROFILE: KINGI CARPENTER
Our December CPC Women in Business Profile is Ms. Kingi Carpenter; one of Canada’s creative designers. CPC Women in Business is really glad to end this year’s Women in Business Profile with a creative designer and business owner who is passionate about what she does. She loves silk-screening and feels the whole world should be silk screening. Ms. Carpenter is an author and besides incorporating silk-screening in her clothing label Peach Berserk, she also conducts workshops that are open to everyone interested in it. Ms. Carpenter has also written a book entitled Peach Berserk Silkscreen Now! for silk-screening lovers. I think that Ms. Kingi Carpenter; parent, business collaborator, artist, designer and author is a great example to women in business, and those of us who are thinking about getting into an entrepreneurial venture.
Ms. Kingi Carpenter is the owner and manager of Peach Berserk located in one of Toronto’s fashion district; Queen Street. Peach Berserk is located at 507 Queens Street West Ontario, for fashionistas interested in getting one of Kingi’s designs for the holiday. Kingi's design label meets the design needs of the young and older fashionista, and can be worn at any event ― an evening of fun and partying to a formal evening. Regardless of the social event, you are sure to stand out in one of Kingi’s Carpenter’s designs. You can shop directly from Peach Berserk’s website where you can purchase from her collection of tops, jackets, dresses, skirts and accessories, but you can also get your customized order in what ever you desire. There are lots more, so take a look for your self.
Kingi has been in business since 1987 and her entrepreneurial goals include making clothes and creating beautiful fabric to meet and capture the taste of her audience. She notes that my goal “is to make the cutest most amazing clothes and fabric designs.” Kingi Carpenter is also an advocate of her craft, which has dominated her business career for over thirty-three years ― screen-printing designs which she shares with anyone interested in learning the craft of screen- printing through her workshops. In addition, another of Ms. Kingi Carpenter’s goal is to “teach others how to run their own creative business.” Ms. Carpenter also works with charities “that means a lot” to her as a way of giving back to the community and contributing to the development of others. She works with charities that are local as well as international mandate.
By age 24 Kingi knew that she wanted to be a creative entrepreneur. She noted that, “I had ideas and a vision of my own fashion company and had to see it through.” At that time Kingi was working as a waitress and she knew that she did not belong in that industry ―her vision was to become a fashion designer. So armed with some knowledge of sewing and design and a willingness to learn all about business management, Kingi launched her business. In the beginning like so many other women in business, Kingi faced challenges. She points out “my main challenge was, I did not know anything about business when I started and I had no money;” but in spite of these limitations, Kingi was able to overcome her financial situation and was able to fund her business. She notes that “I basically funded everything myself.” To read more!

Advice From the Women who were Profiled for the Year!
2011 started off quite well and it is ending on a good note. I design an activity schedule with all the things that I planned to accomplish in my Women in Business Groups and I must say, I have achieved my goals. I am especially proud of my CPC Women in Business Profile of the Month program. This initiative was started in October 2010 and continued into 2011. This year saw the showcasing of twelve women in business who provided great resources, powerful advice, and was motivating and inspirational at the same time to our membership. As 2011 comes to an end, I reexamined some of the interviews and decided to share with you some recommendations they made regarding best practice in entrepreneurship. I especially appreciate their response to the question: What advise would you give to a woman in business or one now thinking about entering an entrepreneurial venture; something that you have learnt along the way?
