Desneige Memory Castings was born in late 2006 when Desneige relocated to British Columbia
from traveling Europe.
Experience with her previous business, State of Mind Mixed Media, proved to Desneige that
average people really preferred artwork that was about them, and that they could be a part of.
In her strides to create a business that clients could depend on for meaningful artwork
that would become heirlooms in the family, but were still accessible for most families'
incomes, Desneige Memory Castings (DMC) was born.
Initially focusing on the new family, DMC started out offering castings for
babies,
children
and pregnant mothers.
Within the 2nd quarter of business DMC had outgrown
their studio space and underwent a giant renovation into the current 1200 sq. foot
Abbotsford Studio. Within the first year of business DMC cast over 150 individual children.
In time for Christmas 2007 DMC introduced the Family Sculptures
options to her families, and also expanded the Body Castings
arena of the business.
In early 2008, an alliance with All Care Pet Services was formed, allowing veterinary
clinics in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley to offer Pet Castings
to families mourning the loss of a beloved pet.
Throughout this quick growth and expansion, DMC has always had a #1 commitment to quality in
products, devotion to top customer service and a company culture within the local community
and all DMC artists that fosters a happy lifestyle for all.
Desneige Memory Castings was nominated for the
Abbotsford Chamber of
Commerce Business Excellence Award for 2007.
Desneige Meyer received the Gloria Foisey Entrepreneur of the Year Award in
2007 from Community Futures Development Canada.
