Hi, I’m Tia Scott! When people ask me what my job is, I say “I help people fall in love with great Minnesota-local brands.” I love what I do! I get to work with small unknown companies and artisans who are passionate about their craft and help them tailor their products for a wide cross-section of customers! While, I’m excited about cultivating unique brands and products I am actually most at-home when I’m designing and building unique spaces to showcase these brands. Both pursuits are what keep me up at night – a never ending journey to create beautiful things and share them with the world.

Ola lives in Sweden and a few years ago he wrote a book about a Swedish immigrant family that came to the U.S. in the 1890’s and lived in the hidden St. Paul neighborhood known as Swede Hollow.  His book has just been translated into english and is set to be released soon. He'll be in the U.S. promoting this new release in several cities including Minneapolis.
