About me

Oriana Repairs is a small woman-owned business that provides maintenance, repairs, and project support services. I currently offer repair services for sewing machines only but hope to provide options for more small appliances once I receive my Certified Electronics Technician (CETa) certification.

I am a lover of the arts and have always enjoyed working with my hands. Whether it’s sewing costumes, curtains, or quilts; sculpting figures out of clay; or designing and building a wooden playhouse for my kids, I enjoy the process of learning and the pride of creation.

After 16 years of working to support USAID projects, my job with a local international development company ended in 2025. While this chapter has been incredibly sad, it has given me the opportunity to reinvent myself and deepen connections to my community.

Located in the Karma Bird House building in Burlington, my office hours are by appointment only. Please reach out by phone or email to arrange a visit.
