On the Go with Blythe Harris
Is there a particular woman in your journey who has influenced you ? I understand that the company is named after Jessica ’ s grandmother Stella and your grandmother Dot .
Dot was a real character with a great sense of humor and a huge love of family , both of which influenced me . My mom ( Dot ’ s daughter ) has been more of an influence . She is so creative and was constantly making things while I was growing up . I was also very influenced by Diane von Furstenberg . Growing up , she was the first woman I heard about who combined fashion with entrepreneurship — my dream !
In your opinion , what is the most important component of Stella & Dot ?
Our community ! We have a highly creative , collaborative community both inside the company and with our Stylists . We are constantly crowdsourcing ideas and being inspired by our field of incredible independent business owners .
Tell us how you have blended your creative talents and business sense to make Stella & Dot thrive .
I have a passion for business as well as creativity , and I like switching gears from daydreaming about crazy ideas
