We chat about her early mistakes, the leaps of faith she took with manufacturers, and how observing her customers shaped new products she hadn’t even planned for.We also talk about the challenges of growing a product business, including how to sell to a bigger audience without losing the personal touch, and why showing the person behind the product can make all the difference.
