Meet Teri

Hi, I’m Teri, and I was born and raised in beautiful Berkeley, CA. While I’ve had the privilege of traveling to various places, California has always been home. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I’ve always felt that owning my own business was my destiny. But finding my true passion has been a journey of soul-searching and discovery.

Before diving into entrepreneurship full-time, I spent over 30 years in the commercial property management industry, where I built a reputation for leadership, problem-solving, and creating simple, effective solutions. I held various leadership roles, including Senior Vice President, Director of Property Operations, and gained a deep understanding of how to manage and grow a business. This experience taught me invaluable lessons about organization, teamwork, and strategic planning, all of which I bring to my work now.

As a child, I spent many weekends at the Solano Stroll in Berkeley, marveling at the one-of-a-kind creations made by local artisans. I was always drawn to the unique, handcrafted pieces and the energy of the street fair. Growing up, I loved visiting the small businesses along Solano Avenue, where I would get to know the owners and witness the heart and soul they poured into their work.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve made it my mission to support local businesses—spending my hard-earned dollars at the same places that inspired me when I was younger. It brings me so much joy to support small business owners who are passionate about their craft, and now, I get to share that joy with you.

Through Lovely Days Collective, I’ve had the privilege of supporting other women entrepreneurs and artisans, curating a space where we can all thrive together. I’m so excited to be part of a community that values creativity, hard work, and authenticity—and I’m proud to help bring these values to life through my business.
