about.

A love of fashion, art and color is what inspired my new company, Style by Kristin DuPrey, by me, Kristin Winiasz-DuPrey.

I earned my degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University. Since then I have worked in various facets of the embroidery industry. I received most of my expertise in this industry from being a buyer/ product developer for the number one wholesaler in this industry Broder Bros. There I met great vendors, and developed products that specifically catered to the growing needs of the embroiderer. Since then, I worked for a manufacturer in China where I oversaw embroidery & clothing about to be imported to the USA.

I was always around the art of embroidery, but over the years, I started to realize how accessible this can be done from my own home office. So, in 2001, I put together a business plan to purchase the best commercial embroidery machine in the market, the Barudan. This machine is capable of embroidering anything from a thick piece of leather to something as delicate as a pair of nylons. It can embroider 15 colors at one time with speeds up to 1200 stitches per minute. It's quite impressive!
