Paul and Lisa Shanley are the founders of Wild Ginger Software, Inc.
In early 1992, Lisa developed her very first program to create custom-sized sewing patterns on the computer in mid 1992. This was a DOS program she called SchemaCAD. She eventually learned to created programs for the Windows operating system and finished Symmetry 1.0 in August 1995.
Wild Ginger Software, Inc. was founded to market Lisa's software programs in October 1995 when Paul and Lisa incorporated their sole proprietorship. Their first product was Symmetry: Computer Aided Apparel Design. Symmetry is no longer available but instead has evolved into Cameo 3 now established as their flagship CAD product.
As the company grew, they met potential customers who had heard of Symmetry but did not have the pattern making skills to use the program properly. They begged them to make a product that would draw patterns by making choices from drawings. Out of these requests and work they had done in drafting custom-sized slopers for Symmetry, the PatternMaster product line was born. The first package in the product line, Pattern Master Boutique, was sold in June of 1998. It has been the best selling women's wardrobe custom pattern software product in the world since its launch.
It is 2005 now, and Wild Ginger has three main product lines: Cameo, Pattern Master, and Click&Sew and over 40,000 customers. Wild Ginger has also launched Wild Things!, a free program for creating hats, bags, and accessories and Stitch-n-Stash for cataloging fabric stashes.
Lisa continues to be the sole programmer for Wild Ginger Software. Paul puts his expertise to work in advertising, marketing and sales. While hard work, innovative thinking, and unheard of free customer support, all contribute to their current success -- they would not be all that they are today if it were not for their amazing customer community and the insights and feedback they continue to give them.
Wild Ginger is the cutting edge pattern software company of the new century and will launch several new products and upgrades to existing products, introducing technologies and pattern drafting capabilities that have no equal.
