What do you do?
I own Fringe Boutique, a women's clothing and accessories shop in Downtown Bellingham where almost everything is under $50 and you can find tons of unique, locally made gifts and jewelry. I do everything from buying and merchandising, to styling and selling. I also do all of my own bookkeeping, manage a small staff, and collaborate on projects and events with photographers and artists in the community.
What do you love about this area?
My favorite thing about Bellingham is the way it embraces community and small businesses. I think it's really rad that most of the businesses in our downtown are locally owned, and we have some pretty amazing organizations that work to promote a sense of community here through fun events and support for small businesses. I have really enjoyed engaging with my community in a new way as a business owner this past year and a half, and look forward to many more!
