roots of my success / 27 TELL STORIES THROUGH DESIGN “ I never imagined I’d have a career in design. I started out as an actor and singer in New York, but looking back, I realize I’ve been decorating spaces since I was a little girl arranging my Barbie house. Decor Whore began by accident, after I hosted a party and kept getting asked who decorated my home. The answer was me! Well ... me, TJ Maxx, Craigslist and a ton of creative sourcing. For the past seven years, my philosophy has been to make homes look like a million bucks at a fraction of the price. That means knowing where to spend, where to save, what to keep, and where to find something drop dead fabulous! But most importantly, I want every home to reflect the people who live there. My job is to understand their style and pull everything together into something beautiful, welcoming and uniquely theirs.” Kate Dawson DECOR WHORE 70 Essex Street, 100B, Millburn kate@decorwhore.com decorwhore.com EMBRACE CHALLENGES “ Many of the qualities I bring to my dental practice were shaped by my early experiences. I moved frequently as a child in South Korea before immigrat ing to the U.S. when I was 10 years old. Learning to adapt to new surroundings taught me to embrace challenges rather than shy away from them. My parents also modeled a strong work ethic, al ways giving 100 percent to everything they did. I began working at my moth er’s nail salon when I was 12, where I learned the importance of empathy, curiosity and forming relationships. My love of crafting further developed my dexterity and attention to detail. Together, these qualities have become valuable tools in providing my patients with thoughtful, skilled dental care in a warm and welcoming environment.” Min Jung "Agnes" Seong REDWOOD FAMILY DENTAL 140 Maplewood Avenue, Maplewood 973.763.2221 redwoodfamilydentalnj.com VALUE RELATIONSHIPS “ I have always been a responsible person who follows through on whatev er I commit to. That quality along with persistence and patience is important in financial advising, because success takes time and rarely happens over night. At the same time, I’ve learned the importance of recognizing when it’s time to change course and try a dif ferent approach. Early in my career, I had a wonderful mentor who taught me lessons I couldn't have learned on my own. My father was another influence. As an attorney, he cultivated one-on-one relationships and practiced confidentiality. That modeled for me the importance of getting to know my clients, understanding their stories and helping them navigate decisions.” Margo Hill, CDFA®, CRPC® Senior Financial Advisor Managing Director – Investments WELLS FARGO ADVISORS FINANCIAL NETWORK 19 Center Street, Chatham 917.846.3682 margo.hill@wfafinet.com The use of the CDFA® designation does not permit Wells Fargo Advisors or its Financial Advisors to provide legal advice, nor is it meant to imply that the firm or its associates are acting as experts in this field.
