My greatest business strengths are:
My strengths come from the creativity of American Artisans. And, of course, our supportive community on the Gulf Coast! Customer service is the most important thing to me, my staff feels the same way.” – Paige Riley, owner
In five years I would like to see my business: Continuing to find young, emerging artists across the country. We want to continue reaching out to every
generation to create the best collections.
The best advice I’ve ever received: To treat every customer like they are coming into your home. Let them know they are welcome!
I chose this particular business because: I have loved it since I was a child! I was my mother’s business partner by the time I was 19, and I have enjoyed every day since.
My inspiration comes from: The amazing works our artists create! There is a story behind every piece and each artist has their own journey.
