How do you serve your local community?
I love to create memorable moments. When I designed my elegant, yet bohemian retail gallery I wanted everyone to have a wonderful experience, being transitioned from daily life. Have an escape, while discovering something new. From wildflowers to Van Gogh. Enjoy the tea house, and take home the freshest loaf of bread, and flowers, or fall in love with an art piece! In the last 20 years while raising my children I learned a lot by being exposed to the best of what this community has to offer. Now I can give back.
What do you love about being a Greenwich resident and business owner?
Being a business owner is not easy but I believe in what I do. And thankfully, I am surrounded by an awesome community – smart, talented people with exceptional taste. I love to share my knowledge with people, and I love to learn from them as well.
What is your favorite hidden gem in town?
Honestly, my favorite place is my own. I built and designed the Barn House to incorporate everything I love, and of course, I had my children in mind. I wanted them to be exposed to many creative worlds! From fashion, I naturally moved to photography, drawings, collecting and creating art, learning textiles, textures, colors, flowers, trees, and how to balance it all. You will find simple wildflowers, bespoke flower designs, and 100-year-old topiaries! Thanks to Boxwood King, George Bridge! We also provide interior and landscape design. It is a full lifestyle experience. I love to do it all and I enjoy sharing this space with old friends and new ones.
