Local Highlighter Series

We are so thrilled to be able to connect with some of the brightest and most inspiring entrepreneurs and creatives from across the city and beyond and this series in particular gives us the honor of introducing these folks to you in a unique way – we go beyond the story of how they got to where they are today by asking them to reflect on a variety of deeper questions that we hope will help you better connect with them, their stories and their brands. Ultimately, our hope is that more of us will spend more of our money with independent artists, creatives and small businesses and we think getting to know one another at a deeper level is step one.

We really, genuinely are. We absolutely consider ourselves the luckiest people in the world to get to do what we do and who we do it with. From working with interior design clients to designing rugs and creating home inspiration and behind the scenes videos. Read more>>

I recently stood up for something I believed in, even though it came at a real personal and professional cost. It cost me friends, followers, and potentially clients, which also meant risking income that supports my family and helps me pay my bills. That moment came when I decided to speak out about what I witnessed following the death of Charlie Kirk. Read more>>

For me that moment was probably when I left college for the first time. I was really scared of student debt and honestly I didn’t feel like I was a school person. I did well in high school but my home life was always a lil messy growing up so I think the freedom and weight of whatever happens is on me. Read more>>
