Team

  • Director of Design and Product Development

    Barb Gauld brings over 20 years of fashion industry experience to the team. A knit maven, she has designed clothing for Tommy Bahama, Eddie Bauer, Cutter & Buck, and May Co. She also designed and produced her own line, Vertitude. Talented and creative, Barb brings a unique sense of style to the TomboyX brand and oversees all creative decisions and designs the company makes.

  • CEO/Founder

    At 25 Fran was an administrator and at 30 an Executive Director of a human services agency with 40 employees. At 35, following a dream and a passion, she went to film school with her sights set on becoming a Producer. After a decade of success in video production, she began to be bothered by a lack of clothing options to suite her tomboy style. She felt compelled to fix it- so started a clothing line and named it TomboyX.

  • COO/Co-Founder

    Naomi manages all of the web backend, vendors, shipping & customer service for TomboyX. Two years ago she posed the question "How hard can it be to start a clothing line?" and has spent the past 2 years finding out. She has been the steady driving force in taking TomboyX from an idea to a company posting revenues in excess of projected goals in less than a year. Prior to that she ran her own small business that she grew to $100k in 9 months.
