I began making leather and canvas totes, block printed pouches, and all styles of bags. I have been sewing and creating as a hobby and as a business since 2009, but my line of handmade bags under the name FOXLY Handmade began in earnest in 2016.Īt the time, I worked full time as an interior designer at a commercial architecture firm, but I had an itch to have full creative control over a project from start to finish. Gloria had talked to you about taking over someday.why don’t you buy it?!” And that’s how the decision was made. I was so distraught at the thought of it, and my husband said, “you were talking about running your own business.

Then I went to Gloria’s to get some items to make Valentine chocolates and found out of their plans to close down. I also worked the 1984 Olympics directly with Peter Ueberroth and the 1994 World Cup in Protocol seeing to participating country VIPs’ needs.Īfter 30+ years of running/managing other people’s businesses and companies, I was talking to my husband about retiring (haha) and just operating our own business. restaurants, service industry, retail, property mgmt & development. I was also exposed to how to create entities and operate businesses successfully, i.e. mayors, governors, senate & congress members, president, vice president, and celebrities. In the capacity of personal/executive assistant, I coordinated and hosted several events, fundraising dinners, art exhibits, press conferences, political issues, etc. My journey in the corporate world included working for many million-billionaires, some very high profile, some very discreet. As I mentioned before, I worked at the highest levels of the corporate world, as well as on major world sporting events.
