Bio

Crafty coder & co-founder of gosadi.com, Michele Costa is a NYC girl through and through. Michele has loved all things yarn-related since before she can even remember. As a child, she was inspired by her grandparents who, as immigrants, instilled in her a love for working hard and bringing dreams to reality.

After a successful career in touring & television production, Michele turned her attention to her love of fiber, launching 144 Stitches and the Stitch & Hustle blog. In 2017, Michele launched Stitch Up Events, promoting diversity and inclusion in the fiber arts community. Stitch Up Chicago has become a well-attended and favorite event among many in the fiber community, and Michele has begun expanding the event to other cities, including her hometown NYC.

Stitch Up Chicago is what brought Michele to Nina Chicago, where the original owner sponsored the first year’s event. When the second year’s event rolled around, Hilary was the owner. After collaborating successfully with Nina Chicago for years, Michele began working with Hilary on other projects and they became friends in addition to business colleagues.

While working on her blog, Michele realized she wanted more customization in her selling platform. As a result, she took a CSS / HTML course from Girl Develop It. This course shifted her perspective on EVERYTHING! The experience led her to continue to learn and take a hands-on approach to coding and how to use it to resolve pain points in her business.

In 2022 Michele co-founded gosadi with Hilary to help independent designers and artists streamline e-commerce management and increase pattern sales.
