Who We Are

We are a small start up with a passionate team looking for our next team member.

The gosadi platform enables designers to centrally manage pattern listings across multiple selling platforms through API integration and reach a bigger audience by streamlining the pattern listing and e-commerce process. We’re here to put that time back where they want it: generating creative ideas crafters will love.
