Managing Director:

Some people say, “I was born to be a …” Well, I was born to be an antique dealer/designer. I grew up worshiping my mother and her place in the antique’s business. I loved watching her walk into a blank space and with what seemed like magic to me at the time, transform it into her client’s idea of beauty… As I got older, I also began to appreciate the fact that we were a family business. I noticed that my friend’s parents went to jobs and worked for other people, it became very clear to me early on that we were different because we worked for ourselves, somehow it seemed that we worked more, but at a very young age it became evident to me that was okay, because unlike other people we were always working for ourselves. All of that said, my path to the family business wasn’t a totally straight line. My parents decided they didn’t want me to be a spoiled kid that never had her own work experiences and troubles. So, I went to college, got my undergrad as a double major in fine arts and anthrological business. I went on to get my MBA. Upon graduation, I worked in several positions, from Wall Street to wedding planning but nothing felt quite right, because it was all a waiting game until the time I could come into the family business. I’ll never forget the excitement at the family meeting when I realized it was finally time!! I love everything about what I do now. I love carrying on a family business, I love modernizing and (hopefully) expanding the family business but most of all I love antiques and design and I love using antiques in design. I love seeing a rusted piece of twisted metal and knowing that I could make that into a gorgeous table, I love searching in someone’s basement for hours to carry the one amazing painted cupboard up the stairs and into the light it hasn’t seen in 30 years. But most of all, I am grateful to work with the people I love, doing what I love every single day. For me, it just doesn’t get any better than that!!
