LAUREN RABCZAK
Director of Training and Education
Each month, a new All Access magazine is delivered to
your door with new and improved embroidery and quilting
projects! Often times we share tips and tricks, how to
intertwine two collections, or a step-by-step process on
how to alter a current collection to best fit your aesthetic.
For the month of February we wanted to recognize one of
our amazing and hardworking employees who shows up
every day with a positive attitude and brightens everyone’s
day with her live videos. With that being said, we want to
give you the inside scoop on one of Anita’s fan favorites,
Lauren Rabczak!
What motivates you to wake up and come to work?
I look forward to coming to work each day because I know
that no two days are ever the same at Anita Goodesign. We
are a fast paced, always on the go business and it excites
me. The amount of projects we are able to complete as a
small business still astonishes me! Plus, I have the privilege
of collaborating daily with an amazing team of coworkers
who are talented, hardworking, innovative, and hysterical.
So work doesn’t feel like work. I am also inspired by our
customers who are so loyal to us and keep us accountable
to continue to make the very best embroidery and quilting
designs for them.
What does your job entail here at Anita Goodesign?
I have worked at Anita Goodesign for 6 years now and my
roles have changed a few times. I started on the creative
floor green as could be, never having touched an embroidery
machine before. I began learning our techniques and getting
comfortable with the machines. After a few months of test
running our designs and making samples, I then became
the manager of that team. I worked closely with the Creative
Director and Art Director to conceptualize the overall look of
our stitch outs and projects. Eventually I became the Director
of Training and Education, which is my current role. I help
to create and implement all of our educational materials,
whether it be our in-person events or through social media.
Throughout my entire time at Anita Goodesign, I have also
been an educator who travels around the country teaching
our in-person events.
What is your favorite part about working here?
I really cannot pick just one thing I love about working here,
so I will have to explain a few. First, I love that I am able to be
creative and business-minded. I am definitely someone who is
a little bit of both and feel most satisfied when I can challenge
both parts of myself. I also love how much I am able to learn
