Tell us about yourself

Not only did I never envision myself owning a business, I certainly never expected how exceptionally rewarding it would be. I became a business owner after working very hard for years while learning as much as I possibly could when given the opportunity, lots and lots of practice, and learning from many mistakes. After being in the events industry for so long working for others, I felt that my Business Partner and Chef Andrew Jacobs had the resources required for success. We’ve worked hard to surround ourselves with the best talent who are also extremely team-oriented. From there, I felt confident in my Partner and me starting out on our own. What motivates me the most is being a good employer, the endless design aspect of this business, and without a doubt, the reward that comes with working with our clients and making their visions come to fruition.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

In our second year of incorporation, we won a bid for one of Miami’s most popular and prestigious annual Galas.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Make mistakes early.
2. Ask as many questions as you need to, and never feel too scared to ask.
3. Do right by your employees, and they will do right by you.
