Today, as I celebrate my dad’s birthday, I’m taking a moment to reflect on how his influence continues to shape me—both personally and professionally. My dad wasn’t just a father; he was a guide, a mentor, and a natural diplomat. In his presence, there was always a sense of calm, a balanced approach to life’s challenges, and a knack for cracking the perfect joke to lighten the mood. I’ve inherited all of these qualities, and they’ve become the backbone of my creative work. Growing up, my dad taught me to approach problems analytically but with a sense of creativity. This combination has been a cornerstone of my entrepreneurial journey. With Glass Veil™, I’ve blended the art of elegance with the mindfulness that comes from intentional design. Every product is a balance of form and function, meticulously crafted, just as my dad showed me how to balance reason and creativity.
In addition to my analytical mind, I also inherited my dad’s knack for diplomacy. Whether it’s in my business relationships or in the way I collaborate with others, this talent helps me to connect, communicate, and navigate challenges with ease. My dad always knew the right words to say to smooth things over, and I’ve used this to build partnerships and grow my brand, staying true to my values of mindfulness and grace.
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned from my dad is the ability to lighten the mood, even in stressful situations. A well-timed joke can break the ice, create a shared moment of laughter, and remind us all to take a deep breath. In the same way, I want Glass Veil™ to be a source of joy and connection—a way to elevate life’s simple moments, whether it’s a quiet evening or a celebration with friends.
As I reflect on my dad’s birthday today, I’m grateful for the gifts he gave me—gifts that continue to influence the way I approach my work and life. Glass Veil™ is more than just a product; it’s a reflection of the values, creativity, and balance that my dad instilled in me. Here’s to him, and to all the ways he continues to inspire me every day.
