WithIt has announced that Justina Blakeney, designer, artist and best-selling author of The New Bohemians will be the guest speaker for the High Point Market Educational Breakfast to be held Sunday, April 15 from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. in the IHFC ballroom.
Caroline Hipple, president of Norwalk Furniture will moderate.
With a passion for color, pattern, plants and over 2.5 million online followers, Justina and her design blog, Jungalow, have become go-to resources for bohemian design inspiration. She has collaborated with industry partners such as Valdese Weavers, Selamat Designs, Jonathan Louis and Loloi in creating her lifestyle brand, Justina Blakeney Home.
The brand includes furniture, rugs, pillows, wallpaper, bedding, fabric, stationery and more.
Justina’s entrepreneurial story springs from traveling the globe and living and working in Florence, Italy for more than seven years. She has leveraged this experience into a unique brand story that resonates with her online followers and consumers.
“We are looking forward to bringing an entrepreneur with an impressive social media presence to our breakfast attendees,” said Reyna Moore, WithIt’s VP of education and VP of merchandising and marketing for Thomasville & Co.
“Justina is the ‘real deal’ – a smart, creative woman who is juggling her business and family. Our attendees will be able to learn how to magnify their brand through their social media,” continued Moore.
The ticketed event is open to WithIt members and to High Point Market attendees. The $30 charge includes a hot breakfast buffet and networking. Seats are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis at www.withit.org.
