Ashley Barby grew up in Alberta with a passion for fashion and her early sights set on
Toronto (or even New York). With degree in hand, and the experience of a plum job with Holt
Renfrew, she followed her heart and headed East. Her journey has taken her into the
fascinating world of fashion and technology, including the launch of her own online luxury
shopping company for authentic pre-loved designer items. She has taken unexpected turns
with two technology start-ups, most recently in the fashion technology space as Chief
Operating Officer with Specsy – manufacturers of custom 3D printed fashion eyewear.
Through her blog, Sunny with Coffee, she shares positive vibes on life, entrepreneurship
and lifestyle. Community engagement, from supporting local fashion colleges to mentoring
new entrepreneurs, is at the heart of Ashley’s commitment to make the world a better place –
and is also the driver behind her launch of FashionTech Toronto, a forum to connect
innovators and leaders in the fashion and tech fields.
