includes framed sketches of their shoes as gifts.

Paradise Valley Lifestyle | May 2020

“It’s a way to make it truly special,” she says.

Dominiqué got her first real taste of the fashion industry at 15, working with Phoenix Fashion week. At 16, she landed a paid internship at Alice + Olivia in New York City.

But it wasn’t the first time she realized this could be a career.

In the second grade, she did a class project on fashion icon Donna Karan, who made an impact on the budding designer.

“That was the first time I was exposed to the idea… I can be a fashion designer and people will wear my clothes? Wow!” she recalls.

Fast-forward to her graduation from The School of Fashion at Parsons The New School, Donna Karan’s alma mater. She got job offers that promised a not shabby $40 an hour.

Most would jump at this chance. But Dominiqué is not like most. She turned them down to pursue her dream of having a fashion house with her name on it. Taking those jobs could have been an irreversible detour.

Her entrepreneur mother offered guidance and support needed to do the near unthinkable: Turn down a lucrative paycheck to chase her goal in a cutthroat industry.

She admitted she was nervous.

“Absolutely I was. But I’m going to take the path that most people don’t,” she says. “There were a lot of uncertainties, but it ended up being the best path.”

She worked for designers in the U.S. and Europe before starting Maison Joan Dominiqué in 2018. This summer, she will unveil her limited edition series Rite—all-inclusive bridal shoe sets for couples slated for heterosexual or same-sex unions. These special order designs can be customized for each couple’s preferences. The tagline: “In celebration of all love.”

“It’ll be something cool to shake up the shoe industry,” she says.

Recently, Dominiqué participated in a project for G Road, a Phoenix nonprofit that works to improve the quality of afterschool programming. This is done through fostering relationships with professionals in the community who provide mentoring through sharing their respective careers with kids.

Dominiqué had them create a character and sketch it out. She then designed a shoe for that character that’s sold on her website.

“We had the most fun with these kids. Their imagination is so untapped and there’s no limit to it,” she says.

What also gives her a boost is the feedback she receives from those she’s inspired from afar.

“So many people tell me, ‘Thank you so much for your ambition.

You getting out there and doing the work has gotten me to do X, Y, and Z.’ I cherish every one of those stories,” she says. “Thankfully it has that domino effect.”

ESTATE MARKET SINCE 1995.

“I am not your typical real estate agent,” says the realtor, broker, and director of the luxury division with TRU Realty. “I have found success by offering a concierge service to my clients; I’m more of a boutique agent providing white-glove service to everyone from luxury buyers to firsttime buyers, and commercial buyers and investors, too. I provide top services, starting with in-depth conversations gathering all the information needed to help my clients successfully prepare in the planning stages, throughout, and afterwards in maintaining their properties.”

Malcolm’s roots in real estate run deep. She grew up in a family of real estate brokers and investors in Atherton, California, later moving to Arizona to attend the University of Arizona as a dual collegiate athlete.

She realized she loved the Valley, and decided to stay.

Fast-forward 25 years and Malcolm is sought-after in the luxury space, although she enjoys also helping first-time buyers.

“I had a strong way in how I was taught to do business and how to treat clients,” she explains. “My ultimate goal is to make people happy.

I’m very serious about what I do and very passionate about what I do.”

She specializes in the Camelback corridor, central Phoenix corridor, Biltmore, Arcadia, and North Scottsdale zip codes—noting that she’s lived in them all as well, and so brings firsthand experience—though she also works with clients buying and selling homes, buildings, and property around the Valley and its surrounding areas.

“I love helping people find what they want,” she says. “I love seeing people happy, and I love handing those keys or that contract to someone when it’s executed and seeing how happy they are, and I get excited knowing someone is going to make a house their home.”

Malcolm can be reached at cheryllux@trurealty.com.

“I’M DEFINITELY VIEWED AS A NEGOTIATOR, AND I’M VERY GOOD WITH PEOPLE AS FAR AS FINDING OUT WHAT ’S THE BEST FIT FOR THEM. I TRY TO DIVERSIF Y THEIR PORTFOLIO IN THE RE AL ESTATE MARKE T.”

UPWARD PROJECTS AND FOX RESTAURANT PROJECTS RESTAURANTS BAND TOGETHER TO HELP Multiple participating restaurants; multiple Valley locations UpwardProjects.com, FoxRC.com Two of Arizona’s largest restaurant groups teamed up with the goal of raising $500,000 in donations to support to hospitality workers who cannot work at this time due to the ban on in-restaurant dining from the COVID-19 crisis. Called #TakeOutForTeams, Upward Projects and Fox Restaurant Concepts (FRC) have committed to accepting donations for carryout and curbside orders. All donations from customers picking up carryout meals at these 40 combined restaurants statewide will be part of the funds benefiting #TakeOutForTeams. Plus, Fox Restaurant Concepts and Upward Projects have invited restaurants across Arizona to join them in supporting and implementing the program.

“We usually have a very healthy competitive relationship, but today it’s important to team up with Upward Projects and our other local restaurant friends and encourage a movement to assist restaurant workers statewide, by raising funds with #TakeOutForTeams,” says FRC founder, Sam Fox. Restaurants that want to join this coalition should email community@upwardprojects.com.

I I R NG

MENDY HOFFMAN OWNER, VELOCITY STYLEBAR

At Velocity stylebar, the slogan is “Empower Yourself.” And that’s just what this blow dry and style bar aims to help women do.

“Velocity stylebar is a place where you can relax, be spoiled, and let your hair down,” explains owner and Paradise Valley resident Mendy Hoffman.

Hoffman launched the location in January of 2019.

“I have a lot of hair,” she explains, smiling. “I had two memberships at blow dry bars prior to opening. I wanted to bring a local business into the community and empower other women.”

Velocity stylebar, located at 4290 E. Indian School Road (VelocityStylebar.com), is “a blow dry bar with hairstylists who provide blowouts, braids, event styling, makeup, facials, and waxing,” Hoffman explains. “Velocity stylebar does not provide coloring or chemical services; however, we are available to provide all your hair styling necessities. We are a cruelty-free, vegan hair salon, so no testing on fur babies! We also supply services for special events like baby showers, that out-of-town flight, or your special day. Even if you do not have a special event, it is a terrific way to get that runway look and feel without the expense of spending hours in a salon.”

Hoffman is at Velocity every day it is open. She manages the day-to-day operations, ordering, and payroll, as well as does blowouts and styling.

Hoffman lives with her husband John, two step-sons, and a Yorkie pup, and has two sons of her own, as well as a granddaughter. When she’s not at Velocity she enjoys hiking, hunting, cooking, camping/ nature, and spending time with family and friends.

She is also involved with various philanthropic efforts.

“We are active with StreetlightUSA.org and donate to local schools for their fundraising/silent auctions, have held a fundraiser for U.S. Vets, and are involved in an upcoming event in the fall. I have also donated to multiple local causes,” she shares.

H O L LY W R I G H T INTERIOR DESIGNER, HOLLY WRIGHT DESIGN

Holly Wright’s fascination with design began at a young age.

“I remember that I used to take the shoelaces out of my sneakers and lay them out on the floor of my bedroom to create floor plans for my dolls’ homes,” she says. “I also would rearrange my bedroom constantly because I would love the thrill of how I could use my room differently with each layout I would create, and it was so stimulating to me. I eventually learned that I can have a career in doing these same creations for others and pursued interior design.”

Wright works with architects, builders, and artisans to assist clients in creating beautiful and functional environments that are uniquely tailored to suit each individual client and their lifestyle.

“I am passionate about the creation of custom homes and I also specialize in the development and planning of hospitality and commercial interiors,” she adds.

Wright, an Arizona native who launched her company Holly Wright Design (HollyWrightDesign.com) in 2017, truly enjoys what she does.

“I love the diversity of interior design. I love that every client is different, every home is different, and that the industry is constantly evolving. Each day is different than the next and this keeps me inspired and allows me to create and develop new and innovative designs for my clients,” she shares.

Wright lives with her husband, Eric, and their three dogs. She’s an animal lover, and focuses her charitable contributions to assist the local animal community, including the Arizona Animal Welfare League and the Arizona Humane Society.

She also enjoys being active through exercise and outdoor activities, as well as cooking.

As for the future of Holly Wright Design, “I’m just excited for what the future holds,” she says. “I look forward to new experiences and am ready to take on any challenges. I’m always up for personal growth and getting the opportunity to be a better version of myself every day.”

INSPIRING WOMEN (CONTINUED)

ANN SINER AND TESS LOO OWNERS, MY SISTER’S CLOSET, MY SISTER’S ATTIC, WELL SUITED

It was 1991 when sisters Ann Siner, Tess Loo, and Jenny Siner opened their first store together, called My Sister’s Closet.

“We founded My Sister’s Closet when we realized the resale stores in Arizona in 1991 were anything but nice,” Siner explains. “Our thought to open a store that looked like a new store with curated product would be a fresh new look for the entire resale industry.”

They dreamed big, aiming to create a destination that looked like a new boutique, gave people a place to consign items, and offered some of the world’s top brands for well below retail prices.

The concept and their first location proved to be wildly successful, and today, there are four stores around the Valley and two in California.

“There are so many things I love about all our stores,” Loo says. “First are the people; the people we work with, our clients who consign, and the happy people who shop with us. Plus we get amazing, affordable, and quality product in.”

With

the

success

of

My

Sister’s

Closet

(MySistersCloset.com), Siner and Loo branched out, launching My Sister’s Attic, a luxury home consignment destination, and Well Suited, a men’s consignment destination. Today, those two divisions have a total of eight locations.

KELSE Y CAMPBELL OLYMPIAN AND NATIONAL TEAM WRESTLER FOR TEAM USA

For Kelsey Campbell, it all started with a dare.

“I was dared to try out for the wrestling team in high school,” she says. “I was about to complete 11th grade, so my senior year would be my only opportunity to ‘last at least two weeks.’ Aside from knowing a handful of high schoolers on the team, I truly was not drawn into the sport by anything outside of the stars aligning a bit.

I think I probably stayed in the sport because, especially back then, it was such an honest athletic venture. I wasn’t extremely talented at anything really, but even after those first few practices, I knew if I worked hard, I could be on to something great.”

Today, Campbell (IAmKelseyCampbell.com) is an Olympian, two-time Olympic Trials Champion, two-time College National Champion, and a four-time Senior National Champion.

And, “at the end of an already somewhat tumultuous 2020, I’ll be super excited to say I will have been a keynote speaker and performer at two international film festivals, [been on the cover of] two magazines, graduated with my MBA in business administration, been named KNOW’s ‘100 Women to Know’ Phoenix Edition, and executed a first-of-its-kind media campaign as project manager for eBay,” she says.

Campbell was born in Alaska but grew up in Oregon, moving to Arizona in 2006 to launch a college ministry. That’s also when she began wrestling for Arizona State University.

“I love the honesty of [the sport],” she reflects. “I still believe that it is a sport that doesn’t discriminate. The score truly does not care about your clout or following or where you came from. And while today those things ‘matter’ on some level, preparation is what truly matters in this sport. I don’t think I could have accomplished the things I did if that weren’t true.”

When she’s not training, Campbell focuses on music, which is what she plans to transition to after her wrestling career.

INSPIRING WOMEN (CONTINUED)

HELEN JEAN JACQUIE DORRANCE CURATOR OF FASHION DESIGN, PHOENIX ART MUSEUM “I have such a rare opportunity to tell these stories and work with these amazing objects,” says Helen Jean.

Jean was recently appointed as the new Jacquie Dorrance Curator of Fashion Design at Phoenix Art Museum (PhxArt.org), a role she is extremely passionate about.

“For me, I love that I get to do this job because I see my responsibility as telling stories about who we are and how we relate to each other using some of the most gorgeous objects that humans have created,” she says. “These garments are extraordinary, and it’s an honor to create opportunities for people to have conversations about them, how and why they were created, and why we should consider them art.

“We all use clothing to protect ourselves but we also use it to communicate who we are. As children we’re taught that if we need help, to look for people in uniforms. Clothing is a message board. We communicate so much with our appearance, and this is such a great opportunity to explore that, and how people have used appearance to make art.”

Jean first joined Phoenix Art Museum as a curatorial assistant from 2007-2012, and returned in September 2019 to serve as the interim curator of fashion design, bringing more than a decade of experience as a fashion scholar and educator.

Jean recently curated the Museum’s latest fashion design exhibition, India: Fashion’s Muse, and is currently working on the next exhibition, Fearless Fashion: Rudi Gernreich, a retrospective of the designer’s work from the 1960s-70s set to open this fall and on tour from the Skirball Museum.

There are more than 8,000 objects in Phoenix Art Museum’s fashion design collection. Many of them are linked to inspiring women.

“From visionary fashion designers such as Coco Chanel, Claire McCardell, and Iris van Herpen to globally influential political figures such as donors Nancy Reagan and Claire Booth Luce, the women behind the garments in this collection are truly inspiring,” she says.

K E L LY K E L L E H E R , M D CHIEF QUALITY & SAFETY OFFICER, PHOENIX CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Kelly Kelleher, MD, is a pediatric hospitalist and the chief quality and safety officer for Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH).

“My main areas of focus are patient and employee safety as it pertains to medical errors and the prevention of harm to our patients while they are in the hospital,” Kelleher explains. “I also spend time focusing on how we at PCH can improve the quality of care our patients receive.”

Lately, Kelleher—who is originally from Montana but moved to Phoenix in 2008 to begin her residency training—has been busy as part of the leadership team working to prepare PCH (PhoenixChildrens.org) for COVID-19.

“This has been an experience like none I have had before,” she says. “Taking time to appreciate all of those people who are working so hard to keep our community safe and finding joy in simple things has been on the forefront of my mind.

“Fortunately, our hospital has a fantastic leadership team and this pandemic has highlighted the skills of those individuals,” she continues. “Admittedly, the days are a little bit longer.

The volume of information I consume and respond to on a daily basis has increased dramatically. It has been inspiring to see our organization come together and support one another through this time of change.”

Kelleher says she sees healthcare being fundamentally changed moving forward.

“One habit I hope sticks is good hand hygiene!” she says.

“Other areas I see evolving include how we reduce medical waste and information-sharing across hospital systems.”

When she’s not working, Kelleher enjoys time with her family, enjoying the outdoors, playing games, and going to activities for her four daughters.

HAND SANITIZER & LIQUOR TO GO BLUE CLOVER DISTILLERY QUICKLY PRODUCES HAND SANITIZER TO HELP WITH LOCAL DEMAND

WHEN COVID-19 CASES BEGAN SPREADING IN THE UNITED STATES, THE TEAM AT BLUE CLOVER DISTILLERY QUICKLY SET TO WORK. Weston Holm, Duane and Scott Koch were longtime friends who had launched the micro-distillery, making premium small-batch spirits—and they realized that during this time, they had ingredients on hand that would be helpful.

“I saw where everything was headed ahead of time and I already started procuring all the materials and ingredients needed to make hand sanitizer,” Holm says.

It was an immediate response to help in any way they could.

The team was already going through the necessary channels for approval to produce hand sanitizer when an email arrived on March 18 from the Taxation and Tobacco Bureau providing relevant businesses the go-ahead to make the product immediately, without label approval.

By March 20, Blue Clover Distillery was offering hand sanitizer to the public for $1.50 an ounce (bring your own container).

Although the distillery sells the product to the public, they also donate it to first responders, the Department of Public Safety, hospitals, and more.

In order to have time to produce the hand sanitizer, Blue Clover ceased offering food, although its liquor, bloody Mary mix, flavored infusions, gin and vodka are available for carry-out.

“The more people support us by coming to our window at our place [to purchase hand sanitizer or other products], the more we can support first responders and they can have hand sanitizer, so it’s a community coming together; it supports us, them, and helps everyone.”

ist, but had an art career in the film industry too—she’s won an Academy Award for Titanic, an Emmy Award for Miracle Landing, and an American Music Award for Michael Jackson’s Black or White. These collaborative awards were all for special effects.

“I was a special effects artist and built hard model physical structures, that would oftentimes have an action element to them,” she explains.

“For example, we would get to blow them up— now how fun is that?! This was before computers were used for special effects.

“At first glance, it seems that these two paths are very different, but for me food and cooking are another art form. Cooking is part science, part technical skills, and a lot of creativity, so the transition from movie work to chef isn’t as big of a shift as one may think.”

Chef O was drawn to cooking from a young age, sharing that some of her earliest memories involve being in the kitchen with her family.

After culinary school she was a private chef and caterer both with her own company in the Valley as well as others, had a bakery in Downtown Glendale, and a coffeehouse in Arcadia.

At Fry’s, she handles all aspects of the school, including writing the schedules, menus, and recipes; community projects; and teaching classes.

“I love helping people gain confidence in the kitchen,” she says.

BRINGING CARE

UNITED TELEHEALTH CORP OFFERS A UNIQUE HEALTH MODEL

Dr. Nima Ghadimi, president of UTC and SPG, with a Transportable Exam Station (TES)

Paradise Valley Lifestyle | May 2020

WHEN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BEGAN SPREADING IN ARIZONA, UNITED TELEHEALTH CORP (UTC) WAS IN A UNIQUE POSITION TO HELP. A sister company of Scottsdale Physicians Group (SPG), which has been providing physician services in hospitals and post-acute facilities for the past 18 years, it was founded to provide a higher level of care outside of the hospital that patients were not receiving otherwise due to their complex chronic conditions and/or functional limitations. And they were providing that service in a unique way.

UTC’s innovative model involves sending a medical technician to a patient’s home—or wherever they may be—with a specially designed mobile office and then video-conferencing in a physician.

“Going far beyond traditional app or computer-based video-conferencing, UTC sends a highly-trained medical technician with a military-grade Transportable Exam Station (TES) to each and every patient,” explains Dr. Nima Ghadimi, president of UTC and SPG. “The technician then becomes the remote physician’s hands, collecting vitals, using an HD exam camera and digital stethoscope, and even a 12 lead EKG. The TES is completely self-contained including onboard power and internet connectivity.”

Founded by Ghadimi, UTC (UnitedTelehealthCorp.com) works with a variety of conditions and circumstances, including medical issues, behavioral health needs, chronic conditions, wounds, medication reconciliation, and social determinates of health.
