My friends call me Addie. Growing up in Statesville, a small North Carolina town, I was surrounded by gracious family friends who wove personal style and family heirlooms into their dinners and parties. My mom, an Interior Designer and effortless hostess, passed her creative spirit along to me and I carried that touch into everything I was involved in from elementary school through college. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, I moved to Birmingham, Alabama to work as an intern for Southern Living. I found my passion for paper products when working for Dogwood Hill and then Arzberger Stationers, which brought me back to North Carolina. I was able to hone my skills in intentional design, etiquette knowledge, and unparalleled customer service from some of the best creative minds in the business.
