HEN & CO. was birthed as my senior thesis project in Design school at Cornish College of the Arts. I took a hiatus from it for a couple years while I worked at Amazon.com as a designer. After I had enough of corporate (read: long boring days), I decided to start er' back up and here I am, 2 years later, wildly successful and happier than EVER.

I believe that layers make everything in life more interesting – people, poetry, a wedding dress, a winter bed. In design, it’s the layers that give each piece character and soul - the unique mix of colors and elements. The way you choose to put it all together. Sometimes it’s part of a well devised plan and everything works perfectly. Other times, it’s pure improvisation and the most spontaneous combinations become the most beautiful. Either way, it’s about building on what you have, following your instincts and letting things unfold naturally - just like life.
