Professionally, two things bring me the most joy: the thrill of the hunt and the magic of connection. There is an incredible rush in rescuing a forgotten piece of history, whether it’s a stunning vintage dress or a piece of mid-century decor, and bringing it back to life. But the absolute best part is seeing that item find its next home. Watching a customer’s face light up when they find something that perfectly matches their style or sparks a deep sense of nostalgia is incredibly fulfilling. At the end of the day, making people feel connected, whether to the past, to our local Cleveland creative community, or to our neighborhood here in Little Italy, is exactly why I do what I do.
