Shundretta Patterson
Shundretta Patterson is the Owner/Designer of GuRu Designs
Shundretta has always had an interest in fashion but never thought of being a Designer. She always have had her own unique dapper style of dressing.
Inspired in 2015 by Latonya Patterson to learn how to use a sewing machine; Shundretta started off putting pockets on shirts. Then bow ties and the next big step was using a pattern.
Over the last 3 years Shundretta's sewing skills have increased tremendously, and continues to learn daily. Shundretta would like to thank everyone for the love & support.
