Elissa has over twenty years in product and partner marketing, and in sales and customer lifecycle management, but doesn't let her professional success define her. She refinishes furniture, sews, sails, kayaks, generally loves to be near salt water, and is passionate about saving the earth. With her husband and two kids, she spent eight weeks in Italy in 2014 (nice!), which probably triggered her dream of having a homestead with a large garden, animals and a big barn/studio for all her creative "stuff." In between all these excellent pursuits, she now contributes her talents and sunny personality to the Firewood brand.
