Ana Sanchez-Gal

Initially, we focused on the local market, offering a range of art styles inspired by haute couture on various materials, such as canvas and framed prints. We quickly gained popularity for our attention to detail and ability to capture contemporary trends. As demand grew, so did our operations. We expanded our production capabilities, which allowed us to maintain high-quality standards while meeting the increasing volume of orders. Read More>>

Anna Nezhyva

I began my journey in the construction industry as an assistant to the talented interior designer Natasha Broman. Working alongside her, I was introduced to the intricacies and beauty of construction. Together, we embarked on numerous projects, each one more beautiful than the last. Over time, I transitioned into the role of project manager, where I had the opportunity to oversee construction projects in collaboration with general contractors. Read More>>

Brianna Schwartz and Alexis Schreiber

I have also been a music fanatic since childhood. I was a dancer, pianist, and the kid who always had headphones and a stack of CDs with me anywhere I went. I started working in music all the way back in college. I was first hired to work with DJs at Florida State when electronic music was just hitting stride. I went on to work at Ziglaw, Ultra Music Festival, and Viacom and led the music department of a boutique law firm before we started S&S. Read More>>

Shad Fer

I’m a part of this magnificent crossroad generation that rode bikes and played tag and wrote letters in class like “Do you like me? Check ‘yes’ or ‘no’” but I also spent a lot of time staring at glowing screens as they evolved into their own version of reality. So I’ve registered for more than enough MMORPGs and saw the transition from being “poked” on Facebook to staying “woke” on Facebook, lol. Read More>>

Anna Hauldren

Growing up in Prague, I was enveloped by cultural richness. Arts, design, scholarship, history–it all fascinated me. After graduating with a master’s degree in media and communication, I worked in the documentary film industry creating social and historical documentaries. The stories of people and the complex history of human behavior sparked my curiosity about why we act the way we do and what this says about who we are, where we come from, where we’re going, and what we value.

Nicolas and Thaline Legrand

Not long after working abroad in the U.S. and completing my training in catering, I became a proud restaurant owner. I share my passion and ambition with my wife and professional partner of 20 years. We are enjoying our American adventure with our children and quickly feel at home in our West Avenue neighborhood. Read More>>

Aimèe Cuadra

When I was 19 years old I took my first Yoga class! I wasn’t very into moving my body at this point in my life- as I had recently graduated high school (and been an awkward teen/adolescent for all my life) & the most physically active I had ever been was that one summer in band camp. I remember being very curious and easily persuaded by my aunt who encouraged me to try something new. Read More>>

 

Adrienne Sugimoto

After an extensive time at Mount Sinai Medical Center as a clinical dietitian, I leveraged my well-rounded skill set in nutrition counseling and patient care, to service a diverse patient population in my private practice. Dietetics isn’t just about the science of food for me. I saw the power of food to manage chronic conditions, bring a focus to women’s health, and help people find a healthy relationship with weight – no fad diets here! Read More>>

Yoseph Assefa

I’ve always been fascinated with creating things and solving problems, even as a kid. I grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, where riding bikes with friends and family was a big part of my childhood. These early experiences allowed me to realize how much I enjoyed being adventurous, creative, and curious. Read More>>

Danilo Bozovic

As a young man, I started at the age of 18 to bartend and two work and pay off my university costs. Even though I always knew that I had no interest in pursuing a university degree career, in Serbia, where I was born, to most parents and mothers, it is very important for their child to have a university degree. After the first shift behind the bar, I was hooked and obsessed with that line of work, and here we are 22 years later. Read More>>

Natalia Aguilera

My name is Natalia, and I was born and raised in Barcelona, Spain. Since I was a little girl, I have been drawn to the audiovisual world. My mother used to take me to castings, but I always knew that my place was behind the camera and not in front of it. When the time came to decide what career to pursue, I chose photography.

Julien Grincajgier

I then worked as an assistant director on TV series, movies, music videos, and commercials in Paris. I went on to establish my own film and video production company called Immediate Entertainment during which time I wrote, produced, and directed a short film called “Remembering the Fallen”, a 15-minute WWII short film that won 13 awards for best short film, best cinematography and best music in both U.S. and international film festivals.

Molly Turner

Ultimately, it was classical music that captured my attention the most. I would go to symphony orchestra concerts with my mom and sit in the very first row in order to see the violins and conductor up close. The front row seats are not the acoustically best seats, but I wanted to sit there because I wanted to watch the violinist’s detailed motions. In some concert halls, the first row is heavily discounted actually! Read More>>

Astrid Ramirez

Nossa Omakase is run by a couple of Sushi and Omakase lovers who thought Miami was in need of a better quality sushi experience. Back in 2020 (Before COVID) there was not much in the city for high-quality sushi and we wanted to add something to the city not only with much higher ingredients but at the same time a more fun and interactive experience than your traditional Omakase place.

Danielle Simone

My business has evolved significantly since its inception. Over the last four years, I’ve increasingly focused on working with athletes, a shift that feels both natural and fulfilling given my background as a former Division 1 college athlete. As a tennis player, I always prioritized nutrition and fitness, and my passion for cooking and bringing people together over food has deep roots in my large Italian family, where food is taken very seriously.

My name is Sofia Lavarello, I am Argentine and at 28 years old I decided to emigrate to the United States in search of new job opportunities. In Argentina, I was doing very well, but I also decided that I wanted something more and for that reason, I migrated. Migrating allowed me to leave my comfort zone completely. I had to learn to deal with new problems, and new people and adapt to a new environment. Read More>>

Navarr Grevious

After graduating college and venturing into the corporate world, Navarr and Mikael quickly learned the limitations of climbing the corporate ladder. If they ever wanted to achieve financial freedom, and more importantly, make an indelible impact on their community, they would need to chart their own course and create their own legacy… enter QuikLiq. Recognizing a pressing societal need for a safer alternative to drunk driving and the pervasive trend of intoxicated “beer runs” among young adults, the idea for QuikLiq struck them both like lightning.

I’ve been on a spiritual journey of seeking to understand who I was and why I was here ever since I was a child. My journey to becoming a breathwork teacher and guide started about ten years ago after I was hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic with a long battle with Lyme Disease, Autoimmune Disease, and severe gut dysbiosis.

Cole Seargeant

They tend to low-bid contracts and operate on sheer volume and employees are treated like numbers. It is common for businesses looking for security guard services to think that all security is the same and so they go with the cheapest option. Fortunately, we have found enough clients who understand value Read More>>

Dakota Kochen

Growing up with month-long road trips every year, I instantly wanted to capture all the special moments. I started out just using my phone camera until early 2021 when I purchased my first mirrorless camera. Ever since that day I’ve been traveling and shooting/editing every day to get as much practice as possible. Read More>>
