BRIGGS GIBBINS BIOGRAPHY

Briggs Gibbins created Last Shot Apparel to demonstrate how entrepreneurship can influence culture and industry. She positioned the company as a model for combining creativity, responsibility, and adaptability to address one of the world’s most pressing sustainability issues. Her belief that business is a tool for change stems from her upbringing in a small town outside Edmonton, Alberta.

She trained as a dancer and later transitioned into choreography and direction, gaining opportunities on both national and international stages. Her performance career led her to become a director for Celebrity Cruise Lines.
