Biography
Holly was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona! She studied Economics at Arizona State University where she co-founded a consumer product, DrainFunnel with her brother. She loves TikTok and still helps DrainFunnel with their socials from time to time! Holly also started working at a tech company out of college, where her role was very customer service and operations based. During this time, she moved to Hawaii and lived there for a year. She moved back to Arizona to pursue her passion for selling vintage sustainable clothes. You can find her selling at flea markets every weekend! Besides fashion, Holly loves music and playing guitar. She has also gotten into running lately and is attempting to run a 9 min mile (which is very hard for her OKAY; haha!).
