Nan Hurlburt, CEO | Designer

To make a business grow and achieve productive and efficient results you need to invoke creativity which has always been Nan’s essential business skill. Along with the entrepreneur spirit, pursuing a love of design in her career choices has always been the drive. Beginning with all forms of garment and costume design and construction to owning and running a successful business for 28 years. As a designer, Nan’s drive to create something using original ideas has led to years of exploring her artistic voice in painting, drawing and competing in the world of “realism” and “plein air”. Through this path, a love of jewelry and creating unique pieces has sparked her talents. Together with a love of wine, a beautiful idea has grown.

Innovation is the process of taking new ideas and implementing them into the market. A Creative Life is full of new possibilities, discoveries, exploration, experimentation, self-expression, and invention.

"When imagining a design, there are several ingredients: the medium, me (the other medium), and (the mystery) the pieces themselves, which often seem to push forth their own story."
