Starting a Company at Age 45 Is Not the Path that Many Take. Here’s how It Happened…i Am an East Coast Girl. Born in New Hampshire, Childhood in Georgia, Boarding School in Massachusetts, College in Florida, Many Years in Nyc and Now Settled Outside Philadelphia. I Had a Robust Career in Design and Fashion Marketing, Working for Brands Such as Adrienne Vittadini, Calvin Klein Cosmetics, Barneys New York and Lilly Pulitzer.
