Creating beauty has always been my passion, and I am now realizing that it is also my purpose. Anthropologie's approach to continually offering products that inspire, excite, and influence their customers is in complete alignment with my values as a designer. Throughout the design process, we carefully considered the need for flexible and versatile furniture that changes and grows with us as our lives do the same.
