Founded on the site of a 100-year-old nursery in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, the brand has now grown to include nine stores across the country, with more to come. Their first book, Terrain: Ideas and Inspiration for the Home and Garden, was published in 2019.

She joined the Terrain team at its launch in 2008, and worked as a buyer, floral designer, and photo stylist for the brand prior to taking on her current role. She lives with her partner, artist and designer Wen Blankenship, and their two spotted pups, Jasper and Ru, in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood.
