After spending nearly four years in Austin, TX I made my way back to my hometown (north of Dallas) to be close to family and for new opportunities. I have two parents who are highly invested as entrepreneurs and running businesses is all Iโve come to know while growing up. This is what led me to think the entrepreneurial career path was chosen for me by default. Upon earning my degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management, as well as landing my first hotel position after college, I quickly discovered that it wasnโt for me. It took a few trials and errors to realize where my passion was and I believe itโs with design!
So, whatโs up with the pineapple you ask? Pineapples are the universal symbol of hospitality and used to be given as welcome gifts to signify warmth and friendship. Although I did not end up in a career within the industry, hospitality still holds a special place in my heart as it was such a big part of my upbringing. I included the pineapple as part of my personal brand as a nod to my familyโs roots but also to carry on as a pineapple by โstand[ing] tall, wear[ing] a crown, and to be sweet.โ On top of that, Iโve always loved the fruit and absolutely adore it on my accessories, stationery, clothing, household decor, you name it! Oh, and yes, I do believe pineapples belong on pizza! :)
