The Lindsay King Foundation
Our Story
The Lindsay King Foundation was founded in 2025 by designer and advocate Lindsay King, following two decades in Indigenous social work and foster parenting. After years of supporting children, families, and communities, Lindsay pursued her lifelong dream of fashion design — merging her artistry with advocacy to create meaningful change. The foundation grew out of this journey, carrying forward a vision where creativity becomes a tool for healing, empowerment, and cultural restoration.
Who We Serve
We serve Indigenous youth, women, and communities seeking connection, healing, and creative expression. Our work is rooted in lived experience, offering support that is culturally grounded, trauma-informed, and centred on both personal and collective transformation.
What We Offer
We offer creative workshops, mentorship, life coaching, and keynote speaking that weave together storytelling, skill-building, and healing. Each experience is designed to empower individuals to reclaim their narratives, strengthen self-worth, and express themselves through art and culture.
Speaking Engagements
Speaking Engagements
Storytelling. Creativity. Intuition.
Lindsay King is a fashion designer, entrepreneur, and speaker based in Toronto, Canada. After more than 20 years in social work and community advocacy, she stepped fully into fashion at 39 — building a luxury outerwear brand rooted in craftsmanship, ethical and sustainable practices, and creating garments with natural materials designed to last.
Lindsay is a powerful storyteller, speaking from lived experience. She shares her journey of reinvention, resilience, and creativity — guided by intuition, faith, and a deep trust in following what’s meant for her.
Her work has taken her into high schools, art programs, fashion and panel spaces, and women’s wellness conferences — including spaces supporting Indigenous women in business — creating conversations that are honest, reflective, and grounded in real life.
Lindsay’s sessions explore:
- Recognizing your gifts of soul and having the courage to honour them
- Beginning to release generational trauma and internalized barriers
- Why it’s never too late to pursue your dreams — from social work to fashion design
- Fashion as art, healing, and personal expression
- Creative entrepreneurship and purpose-led leadership
- Resilience, self-worth, and empowerment for women and youth
- Storytelling as medicine and a tool for identity building
Each keynote or coaching session is custom tailored to the audience and grounded in lived experience, creativity, and reflection.

“Lindsay is a gifted storyteller. Sharing her vulnerabilities with her audience is one of her greatest strengths. She speaks from the heart, and her humility is deeply inspiring. I would highly recommend Lindsay King as a presenter—she has a wealth of wisdom that she openly shares.”

“Lindsay is a fire lighting up spaces! Her story is a power story filled with a “too” common experience of Indigenous peoples and the struggles rooted in a history of colonialism. But! Like many fire keepers across the island Lindsay’s spirit is indomitable and we were all taken in by her story leaving us fully inspired and full with new medicine to add to our pouches. We lift our feathers to Lindsay. Ninanaskomitin Nitotem.”

Kids Coat Making Experience
Kids Coat Making Experience
This is a two-day, hands-on experience where participants learn to create a Pendleton® wool kids coat or vest from start to finish.
Rooted in storytelling, Lindsay shares her journey — from lived experience to building a luxury fashion brand — while creating space for connection, reflection, and creative expression.
Participants receive exclusive access to Lindsay King kids coat and vest patterns, and are guided through every stage of the process: expert Pendleton pattern placement, precision cutting, construction, and the same level of finishing that defines Lindsay King pieces.
You leave with a finished coat or vest — made for a little one in your life — and a real understanding of the work behind it.
The Red Collective: Empowerment Through Fashion & Storytelling
The Red Collective: Empowerment Through Fashion & Storytelling
The Red Collective is an immersive, full-day creative masterclass designed to uplift, inspire, and build confidence through fashion, beauty, photography, and storytelling.
Led by women with years of experience across the creative industries, the experience offers a supportive, hands-on editorial environment where participants are invited to create, connect, and see themselves in a new light.
More Than a Photoshoot
While participants take part in a professional editorial photoshoot, The Red Collective is about much more than the image.
The day is creative, collaborative, and supportive — centred on presence, participation, and being seen. This is not about performance or perfection, but about confidence, expression, and possibility.
What to Expect
Participants take part in a full-day experience that includes:
- Professional hair and makeup
- Styling guided by Lindsay King
- An editorial-style photoshoot
- Creative exercises that support reflection and self-expression
- Time to connect in a women-led, supportive environment
Each participant walks away with a professional editorial image — and a deeper sense of confidence and visibility.
