Who Is Hollie?
Hollie is that person. You know the one. The one who looks at things in a different way. The one who questions the status quo. The one who won't just sit back and behave. She is a creative who doesn't always follow the rules. She is an adventurer who doesn’t run with the crowd. She is an innovator who believes that anything is possible. She throws her soul into her projects. She is passionate, dedicated, and successful.
Currently based in Paris, France, Hollie has lived in Ireland, the US, Spain, and Taiwan. She has an intense curiosity about the world and her travels have informed her design aesthetic.
