About me

Despite my grandmother's wishes for me to pursue my sewing skills and study Home Economics, I had a career in finance after obtaining an MBA from the MIT School of Management. Of no surprise to family and friends, I tapped back into my creative and artistic side and "found my calling" after taking an upholstery class. Bringing together my passion for sewing and my eye for all things fabric, I started Chairs with a Flair in early 2021. My labor of love shines through in the creation of beautiful pieces including reupholstered accent furniture, throw pillows and lampshades. Please inquire about custom commission work.
