OUR OHANA
This brand, these creations, this story… would not be possible without the love and support of these people. There are too many to list , but I had to start somewhere and express my deepest gratitude. None of this would be here without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My Family
My husband Matias, my rock, my every dam day. Through all of it. From my first pop up building each one of my displays to handcrafting our entire store to assembling my dream team of assistants. And solving every technological issue I have ever had.. Thank you for your patience and loving me unconditionally.
My grandmother, Adele. Lover of all things fun, style, and beauty. Funded my first “business” selling swimwear off a rack outside of my Washington DC college apartment. She is my number one cheerleader and has played a big role in growing my business.
My parents, Rick and Andrea, words can’t describe or encapsulate how they have been there for me my entire life. Do it well or don’t do it at all, treat others as you want to be treated, and always give back. They showed me how to take a vision and make it a reality through perseverance, grit, and love. Thanks for believing in me and guiding me since day 1.
Nickoel Martyn, my partner in crime. She has taught me so much and has been a source of inspiration and encouragement since my first days on Maui. We have grown our businesses and families alongside each other and even had our own business baby together, The Monarch Collective. A friendship so deep that brings comfort just knowing its there.
Nancy Meola, the reason I ended up on Maui, the reason I stayed on Maui, and the best Hanai mom a girl could ask for. Nancy was so many things, and a shell lover was one of them. She welcomed me into her charmed island life and taught me about a life well lived in love and creativity. She will always be the queen.
