[Q] Where are you from and where do you currently reside?
[A] I’m from Oregon, but lived in New York for about thirty years and came back to the West Coast during the pandemic. Now I’m in Silver Lake in Los Angeles.
[Q] Where did your professional journey begin? How did it lead you to launch CAP Beauty?
[A] I studied interior design and that led me to moving to New York in my early twenties. When I found out I had celiac, that led me to digging into all things health; from what I was eating to what I was putting on my skin. This curiosity became the seed for CAP. I wanted to create a space that was inclusive, aspirational and good for you. Hence CAP was born.
[Q] You started CAP Beauty 10 years ago with the intention to share with others the knowledge you have found in botanicals, what might be the biggest nugget of knowledge you can share?
[A] Plants are amazing allies, they have so much to teach us. I realized that when I looked to plants for health and wisdom, they were profound teachers. And I took it upon myself to learn from them and share always.
[Q] What does a botanical deep dive into a product look like for you?
[A] It starts with what I want the product to do and the beautiful thing is there is always a plant that will support the results. Then it’s a journey with those plants.
