Stephanie is the owner of Trend Boutique, mom to Noah, wife to Vlad, certified group fitness instructor, and small business enthusiast. She worked for a Fortune 100 company for 11 years before deciding to follow her dreams and open a women's clothing and accessories boutique in Cincinnati, OH in May 2009. Stephanie believes that fashion and fitness go hand in hand in building a foundation of self confidence no matter your age, shape, or size. She travels to New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas to buy for Trend and enjoys working in the store to help customers find unique items for all occasions and everyday wear. One year old Noah is a regular at the store, has gotten to know customers, and went on his first buying trip before learning to walk.
Stephanie is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, and loves all things fashion, food, fitness, travel, and sport related. As a certified group fitness instructor, Stephanie taught spinning, step, and sculpt classes throughout her pregnancy and enjoys running with her husband and son to stay fit. She likes connecting with other moms and helping them find their fashionable, creative, and distinctive inner selves.
