About
Fabric Folk was set up to answer a narrower question than most AI consulting: where inside an agency or brand's operations does AI actually change the work. Founder Tessa Ohlendorf built Cadreon for IPG Mediabrands Canada, later ran MightyHive/Media.Monks in Canada, and started Fabric Folk in May 2024 to help teams pick high-impact use cases, put AI into day-to-day workflows and set governance around them. She brought that argument to the TechTO stage in July 2024.
