I’ve always felt lucky to be a bit ambidextrous when it comes to using both sides of my brain. My mom, Clare Potter, is an insanely talented artist and I grew up in her studio. Creation was just part of our every day language. We would talk about “itchy fingers” when coming up with ideas for parties or presents or anything to break out the vast supply of antique beads and textiles. But when I began working, I landed in the financial services arena. While I relished any creative project I could get my hands on in off hours, the majority of my career was business oriented. In 2008, a chance encounter with the legendary Bunny Williams put me on a new track. I was thrilled to join her team to oversee finance and operations at Bunny Williams Home. I felt incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such brilliantly creative minds. And after 10 years, my own creative side was ready to stand on its own. I took a deep breath and plunged into entrepreneurial life by founding Fete Home, a colorful and pattern-packed home decor haven.
