The Guildery Inc.

Guildery was co-founded by Shane Reilly (founder of Decorati, acquired by Gilt Groupe), and Kelly Berger (co-founder of Tiny Prints, acquired by Shutterfly), merging their combined knowledge of digital printing, technology, and design.

Guildery makes it simple for design enthusiasts to finish a room with color-coordinated fabrics. The company curates exclusive patterns from leading artists, then produces high quality home textiles and upholstered accessories on-demand. For consumers, the printed fabric collections are bundled into color kits, offering the guarantee that the patterns and colors coordinate. For advanced users, Guildery offers more extensive customizations and user-generated designs. The vision is to build out a foundation of tools and widen the pool of available patterns through crowd-sourcing, call-outs, and celebrity designers. Additional color-coordination apps are in the pipeline to leverage Guildery’s vast collection of patterns and colors. Guildery would like to make it easy for consumers to create pieces that coordinate with items they already own.

The $80BN textile industry is ripe for innovation, impacting home interiors and the maker movement. With significant experience in building a mass customization digital printing platform, the founding team is building a brand that offers numerous possibilities for growth.
