Our team keeps getting better and better! Meet Julie Baumgardner. Baumgardner spent much of her childhood engaged in the activity of imaginating.  The hours logged spent in her mind creating images, stories and ideas have lead to a diverse life path.  She grew up in the boisterous and glorious metropolis of Manhattan but has lived in places as far and wide as Prague, Paris, Peru, Madrid, Dublin and Washington, D.C. Julie’s intense belief in spirit and style has led to careers in art curation, fashion, public relations, brand strategy and writing. You can probably catch her on the disco dance floor in fuchsia lipstick, Dries Van Noten shoes, silk peonies in her hair and a copy of Monocle and Headlong stuffed into her clutch. Follow along as Baumgardner dissects pop culture and helps make sense of how trends affect our desire to consume and what that means for the future of the business.
