My hometown is…
Eden Prairie, MN (Go Eagles!)
My favorite product that has entered the assortment at UncommonGoods in my time in merchandising here is…
The Rose Quartz Platter followed closely by the Druzy Chevron Necklace (clearly I have a thing for pink!). Oh, and the Salt Tequila Glasses!
I’m inspired by…
PINTEREST! In all seriousness, I love the internet! I could wax poetic about the democracy and immediacy of information – the ease of communication and infinite connections – the endless opportunities the World Wide Web presents, but also I just love getting lost in beautiful images. Plus New York City, the great outdoors and my smart/talented/creative/funny friends!
My guilty pleasure is…
Gummy bears and Garth Brooks.
An uncommon fact about me…
I played the alto saxophone for 12 years. And killed it, PS! *kidding
My favorite place to eat in New York City is…
Buvette in the West Village.
My style is…
Yikes! This one is tough. I think my style is a study of opposites – I love anything overtly masculine [read: tuxedo jackets and oversized, worn leather couches] mixed with ultra-feminine accents [read: tulle skirts and Louis XIV furniture]. I’m also a sucker for anything whimsical or quirky.
Working at UncommonGoods, I’ve learned…
The value of being an independent and creative thinker. Our company culture values individuality and finding creative solutions while working on collaborative, frank, super fun, imaginative and supportive teams.
Would you rather… have an unlimited amount of shoes OR an unlimited supply of cupcakes?
That’s a toughie but I’m going with shoes. I like cupcakes, I do. But they are so fleeting. Shoes are forever (or at least a season).
