Whitney creates functional fine art and conversation pieces drawn for your lifestyle. Whitney grew up on a lake in the Adirondack Mountains where the waterfront and wildlife provided an abundance of natural material. Whitney graduated Cum Laude with a major in Art History and a minor in Studio Art. She interned in the conservation studio at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy and in the Exhibitions department at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. She spent a year abroad in Italy traveling every weekend to explore a country rich in artistic history and technique. Having traveled to 20+ countries, it was the American landscapes & wildlife that ultimately returned Whitney to her roots. Whitney’s drawings have been selected several consecutive years for the Newport Art Museum’s Juried Members Exhibition. Her artwork is detailed and cheerful, with a hint of humor. She draws inspiration from the historic, nautical, and coastal character of New England where she resides in Newport, RI.

Lindsay is a wife and mother to four children. Several years ago when she reached her late thirties, she noticed her skin began to speak a different language. After attributing much of this to a combination of hormones and a loss of elasticity after multiple pregnancies, Lindsay spent years testing new products and tools to bring the most efficacious results. Her passion has been research and trials to gently slow the process of skin aging. Lindsay founded Storied Beauty to help guide you through the complexities of skincare ingredients and introduce you to luxury product lines from around the world that you may not find at big-box stores. Skincare is not one size fits all, but it doesn't need to be complicated. Today Storied Beauty helps empower and educate women to feel their most beautiful, while leading busy lives and often prioritizing themselves last. Through skincare masterclasses, beauty events with industry insiders, custom facials, makeup , and more at the Dallas boutique, Lindsay has cultivated a loyal community of women seeking beauty that feels both effortless and empowering.

In May 2025, Storied Beauty introduced its first proprietary product, CONCEALED—a tinted eye cream that hydrates, brightens, smooths, and conceals in one effortless step.

Mignonne Gavigan launched in 2014. It was a bit spontaneous. Mignonne, "Maggie", was experimenting with a beaded couture vintage gown and an embellished piece of fabric fell to the floor. She picked it up and fastened it around her neck because she thought it was a cool scarf vibe. On her walk home through Soho a handful of compliments and questions on where she had gotten her necklace came about and the first Mignonne Gavigan design idea was born. She always knew she wanted to create a brand, a community and a workplace that were all built on kindness and happiness. Maggie launched Mignonne Gavigan jewelry in hopes that each piece would bring joy and happiness to the wearer. Ultimately what she’s discovered is that women develop a significant amount of confidence when wearing an MG piece. That is so important to the MG team- that we are building a community of confident and joy-filled women.
