Tell us about Candy Shop Vintage and the background behind your business.
I think moving from New York to a small, charming city with a slower pace of life enabled me to try new things professionally, and to take the time to develop something I love—collecting vintage jewelry—into a business. Designing has just been a natural progression of that, which is enabling me to reach out to a wider audience.
