I was born to shop.

As the story goes, I made my first solo credit purchase at the age of three. Okay, the reality is I purchased a Popsicle on Fire Island using my parent’s house account at the local grocery store, but you get the picture - when it comes to shopping, I pay attention.

With a fashion designer mother, an actor father, and a painter stepfather, I grew up as a curious Manhattan kid surrounded by visual arts and high style. Exposure to fashion, art, Broadway, fine food, and design has given me an eye for exceptional beauty.

I attended New York’s School of Visual Arts for photography. I worked as a window dresser in a toy store before getting my first job in the film industry as a shopper in the costume department. Eventually, I became a feature film Production Coordinator and Supervisor. During my fifteen years in the business I have had the opportunity to work for top-level talent and directors (Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Rob Reiner, Barry Sonnenfeld, to name drop a few.)

After moving to Los Angeles in 2002, with my husband and our daughter, I was able to combine my creative and production experience to create SHESHOPS, a high end discreet personal gift shopping service for busy professionals in the film and television industry.

When it comes to giving presents, my philosophy is that the gift doesn’t need to be expensive; it needs to be right for the person receiving it. My clients include Fortune 500 families, talent agents, producers, and film & television executives.

With a self-diagnosed allergy to gift-baskets, I strive to combine the perfect elements of unique, simple and elegant; of course, always beautifully presented.

I live in Los Angeles with my husband, two daughters and a menagerie of rescued animals.
