SABINA MELARTI

Co-founder, co-designer


Meet me: 32, from Sweden. Entrepreneur, artist, and mama to Kai, 5, and Sienna, 4. Type A, neurotic, total perfectionist. A quietly reserved trilingual graduate school dropout who analyzes everything, she always thinks before she speaks, loves the unfortunate reading of trashy blogs, is seriously indecisive, and cannot commit to any purchase, exchanging it at least twice before settling. She loves beautiful things, but suffers great buyer's remorse. She'll tackle any mountain on a bike, but won't set foot in a subway. She is calm and laid back and thrives in the outdoors as much as she loves staying at the Four Seasons. She is super nurturing, expects the best, never settles, and can be seriously feisty. Sabina dreams of a midcentury modern overlooking the Pacific.

VALERIE DARRAGH

Co-founder, co-designer


Meet me: 30, from Philadelphia. Entrepreneur, designer, mom to Jude, 5, and Nico, 1. Social butterfly with the energy of her 5 year-old, she is intense, passionate, motivated, and highly driven. Nicknamed "the tornado", she works a million miles per hour, doesn't know the word quit, and won't do so until it's done right. She thinks that waking up after 8 a.m. is a waste of the day, and can't stand people who are unproductive. She's incredibly caring and sweet and hates confrontation. She can't sit still, and does her best work while pacing and blasting hipster DJ sets. She loves being surrounded by people, loves art, rearranges her furniture once a week, and has a giant sacred heart tattooed on her back. Valerie dreams of a loft in New York City.
