President & CEO

• May 2019 - Present

{verdigreen} hotels & residences, a brand in the making, was inspired by {verdigreen}’s stores, designs and passion to connect and empower people. {verdigreen} hotels & residences began with the realization that despite the world being more connected than ever before via the internet and social media, people are feeling lonelier than ever, and despite the abundance of “lifestyle” hotel brands, and the overwhelming optionality in lodging and home sharing, the leisure traveler is many times being left unfulfilled. ​From design to operations, our properties are artfully renovated for reuse, creating fulfillment and inspiration for both travelers and innkeepers alike. For travelers seeking rest, refuge or reset, please check out one of our current properties or follow our upcoming projects as we share on social media. For innkeepers interested in partnering with us to help rejuvenate their property, please reach out to us. Show less

Owner

• 2010 - Present

{verdigreen} is a family-owned business. In today’s world, increasingly being overtaken with online shopping, social media and overscheduling, {verdigreen} encourages community, face-to-face personal connectivity and empowerment. {verdigreen} coincidently started on Etsy as an online furniture and home goods store; however, quickly realized that in order to truly connect with the community and its customers, it needed to offer a real life experience. In 2013, {verdigreen} opened its first brick and mortar shop in Montclair, NJ. Since the storefront opened, it has further evolved into an interior design center, incorporating maximalism, the reuse and redesign of furniture and natural elements in its interior design work.
