The teen entrepreneur and make it happen mom behind Scar and Co. Magnets.

Meet Scarlett + Stephanie.

Call me a serial entrepreneur...I love brilliant ideas that are fueled by need and passion.  My mind works....ALL. THE. TIME!  I have so many interests and ideas for businesses but not enough time to make them all happen. 

For years I worked in the corporate world of healthcare and loved meeting new people and learning so many things but my heart was always looking for my own thing.  After leaving the corporate gig back in 2011 when we lived in Massachusetts, I fell in love with a historical retail space in downtown Hopkinton. I knew it was the perfect spot to launch my first business....an interior store with furniture, decor and a design studio.  

The past seven years I have been curating gift boxes for teen and tween girls through my company Vibe Alley.  I love helping parent, grandparents, aunts, Godparents and friends find the perfect gift for the girls in their lives.  Vibe Alley makes gifting girls easy and fun! 

So why ANOTHER company....meet my daughter, Scarlett, and you will soon see she is very much like me....in soooo many ways!  Scarlett is a competitive dancer (one thing we DON'T have in common!) and we travel all over the United States for conventions and competitions.  Since the age of 5 she has had to pin an audition number to her beautiful (and expensive!) dance wear.  I think she was about 9 when she looked at me and said, "These pins are ruining my clothes!  There has to be a better way."  Well fast forward a few years and well like I said....I am a sucker for new ideas and concepts when there is a need and Scarlett has enough passion for both of us so here we are.....welcome to Scar and Co. Magnets!

Dance has been part of my life since I was 5 years old. Throughout elementary and middle school I trained in all types of dance and loved attending conventions, intensives and competitions all over the US.  As a competitive dancer I would need to attach an audition number to my dance clothes during conventions.  Safety pins are what everyone uses and they ruined my dance wear by leaving holes and snags.

I didn't know much about starting or running a business but I knew there was a better solution to pins!  So I partnered with the smartest and most determined person I know...my MOM!  Together we are building a brand based on passion, strength and providing a strong solution to replacing safety pins!

Having spent my high school years training and learning at performance arts high schools, I have grown not only as a dancer but as a person and business owner. As I head to study in London, I look forward to expanding Scar and Co. Magnets internationally.
