The usual! Raising three children, working on Edie Parker and Flower by Edie Parker. We exist at the unusual intersection of fashion and cannabis, so there is a new and exciting challenge almost daily.

Compliments. But also folk art, lately. My favorite piece of art in our apartment is a collage of a felt cat I got at an antique store in Millerton, NY. I put it in a beautiful red frame–inspired by Cecil Beaton’s NYC apartment–and it perches proudly in the living room. I have bought fancier paintings in the past and they don’t give me nearly as much pleasure.

Mostly abstract paintings because of the incredible way artists pair colors. When creating anything from a new bag to new packaging for a pre-roll joint, I reference images of unexpected color pairings by Kenneth Noland, Ellsworth Kelly, Suzan Frecon, Stanley Whitney, etc.

Despite a disappointing lack of action at the federal level regarding cannabis legislation, I am still really excited about how most of America is embracing the plant. It is difficult, humbling and thrilling to be operating so early in an industry that is poised to become one of the biggest job creators and tax revenue generators in the country. We are bringing a unique perspective to the conversation and I look forward to our continued growth.
