They say an invention comes from a need. Well, it was during my need for a natural beauty product when I came up with Beauty Steep: a tea-filled eye mask that naturally reduces puffiness and dark circles. Named top ten indie beauty brands, a best-in-show nomination at the Indie Beauty Expo and featured in Oprah Magazine, Town & Country, NyMag’s holiday gift guide and now a part of Macy’s nationwide, Beauty Steep went from a side hustle to a little business.
A self-taught perfumer, I launched my own fragrance line called Attico Barone.
I wrote a book of fictional short stories based on real Craigslist Missed Connections posts.
