Being a military spouse has given her career a spin around the world, influencing her global view. Gigi has lived on both coasts of the US, Italy, and Malaysia. As the mother of a child with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, she is passionate about accessible design. Her love for the outdoors fuels her interest in sustainability and wellness.
