I am excited to help them and make a difference in their livelihoods by utilizing my design background but also leaning into my deep roots as an entrepreneur myself, and from growing up in an entrepreneurial family,” she said, “I believe every product needs a story. The consumer needs to connect with it, and that concept is largely untapped in this industry. Finding that consumer connection is the most interesting thing in the world to me, next to manufacturing.”
