I am and always will be passionate about product, merchandising, design, and how it all comes together to create a story or environment. For nearly 30 years, I enjoyed a fulfilling career in the retail industry, working as a creative director and visual merchandising director for national retail brands, including Forever 21 and Burdines, as well as specialty boutique retailers. In 2014, I went solo and launched my consulting business, Weaver Design Concepts. Highlights include developing the store design for Sugarcloth, a women's retail concept in Los Angeles, and renovating a 1954 ranch-style home in Orlando. Always an avid vintage shopper, I began attending estate sales to source product for a pair of booths I opened at a local antique mall. These estate sales all had something in common: They were poorly executed. The presentation was weak, the service was subpar, and there was a total lack of ambience and flair. I knew I could do better. So together with my mother, who is a longtime small-business owner, I launched Found by Hand. We’re dedicated to making estate sales hassle-free for our clients and a genuinely interesting shopping experience for buyers. Visit us at foundbyhand.com.
