Monica Garry, NFI's founder and designer, first went to Nepal and India in her teens and has been going back ever since. As a student at the School for International Training she loved riding her bicycle around Kathmandu, making friends, learning and being inspired by the cultural and spiritual beauty of daily life in Nepal. Her Nepalese teacher wore a beautiful hand woven Nepalese cashmere shawl and helped her find a weaver so she could buy them for her mom and sister and the love of hand made textiles made in Nepal began! Thirty years later these shawls are still in use and as lovely as ever. Her mom and grandmother promoted her love of textiles, fine fabrics and enduring, timeless fashion especially YSL.
Monica spent more than 20 years leading philanthropic, humanitarian and enterprise development programs in Asia for BF a fund of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. She worked extensively in Tibetan and Himalayan regions with nomads and more recently in Ladakh, Rajasthan and Gujarat in India. She has worked with The Aspen Institute, UNESCO, World Wildlife Fund, the Smithsonian, the European Union, USAID, Norway and foundations on grant programs and social and artisan enterprise, education, business development, wild life conservation and cultural heritage programs. She received an MBA from the London School of Economics and HEC-Paris. She is based in Southern California.
