YukonU I&E Stories
Nurturing young entrepreneurs at Summer Biz School
Growing up, Matt Douglas was thinking about becoming a defence attorney before he found his calling in the creative power of marketing. Today, Matt is the managing director at Mammoth Marketing. His team works to fill a major gap in the marketplace for small and medium-sized businesses and organizations–and they’re committed to investing in the community–especially the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Natasha Peter’s fashion designs embody her Kaska traditions
Fashion designer Natasha Peter sews stunning clothing and jewelry to share with her community and on the world stage. Descended from a long line of Kaska sewers, her grandparents passed along their skills to her at a young age. She took hold of these skills in her mid-twenties when she was facing a dark point in her life, and found healing by connecting with her traditions. Her early designs led to custom orders from across Canada, gaining organic traction and acclaim.
