WHAT MOTIVATES YOU EACH DAY IN YOUR BUSINESS? I love seeing people happy in their home—when they walk in and tell me it’s even better than they ever imagined, that is so rewarding. If I add in the fact that we are creating spaces that are healthy for them and the planet at the same time, then that is just so much more fulfilling.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO IMPLEMENT ECO-FRIENDLY ACTIONS INTO YOUR BUSINESS? I grew up surrounded by the incredible beauty of the Grand Tetons, and the first national parks created specifically to protect and provide stewardship over our wealth of natural beauty, so it was ingrained in me from an early age. Plus, my father has severe chronic asthma, so the healthy indoor air quality was also a huge factor in my life and my design philosophy.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE BUSINESS ACCOMPLISHMENTS? One thing that comes up with almost every furnishing project I do is, what do we do with our old furniture? My clients have large-scale expensive pieces that are not suitable for donating to Goodwill, and consignment is not always a great option either. So, I started a nonprofit that accepts donations of gently used high-end furnishings and resells them, keeping them out of the landfill, and provides a tax deduction for the client.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU EACH DAY IN YOUR BUSINESS? I’m motivated every day to educate the public on the buried truth and treasure of your true health and self-healing properties of your body.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO IMPLEMENT ECO-FRIENDLY ACTIONS INTO YOUR BUSINESS? I began implementing eco-friendly actions in my personal life about 10 years ago when I learned of the damaging environmental affects of the my food choices. From that point on I knew it was something that would a part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not. My business is no different. We use biodegradable, plant based “plastics” for our gloves, retail bags, trash bags and more.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE BUSINESS ACCOMPLISHMENTS? My 3 greatest accomplishments would be the creation of Be More Raw LLC and helping people heal from things as serious as cancer to diabetes to weight loss and acne; 2nd would be definitely Be More Clean: Colon Hydrotherapy which I opened up in the middle of the world and the world being shut down; my greatest accomplishment would definitely be the annual Melanin Moms Natural Expo.
