Every great brand begins with a story. Mine began with a fascination for how things are made. Products, businesses, ideas, and the people and stories behind them. I knew that when I “grew up” I wanted a job where I could have a hand in that. Take an idea that would enhance people’s lives, turn it into something real, and say, “Look mom! I made this!” And I did.

Most of my career was spent in brand strategy, marketing, and product development in the corporate world, while personally, I have always been a champion and consumer of thoughtful, handmade work by independent brands, artists, and artisans.

A gift of handmade ceramics from a local maker sparked the next chapter. I wanted to partner with the kinds of independent brands, artists, and makers I had long admired, and help them grow businesses that reflect the care and intention behind their work. And now, that’s exactly what I do.

When I’m not doing that, I’m playing with (more like getting tackled by) my 2 sons, going to concerts with my husband (we’ve been to over 200 together!), traveling, and bopping around Westchester, NYC and the Hudson Valley.
