TANYA WINDMAN, PERSONAL STRATEGIST

TANYA WINDMAN, PERSONAL STRATEGIST

Olivia Villanti
Tanya Windman is a personified example of actively building the life and career you want, having left the corporate world of PR and marketing to start a business as a personal strategist for women, artists and entrepreneurs. But it almost seems like forging forward into the unknown is in her DNA, having lived around the world from Tel Aviv to LA and now Mexico City (with a return to New York City in the works right now). It makes a lot of sense to me that Tanya is such an effective coach to her clients, from the first time I met her I found myself sharing some of my most personal stories and struggles (ha, sorry Tanya!). She's deeply empathetic and insightful, I'm so excited to share her thoughts with you.

Sharon Drijanski has magnetic energy, a person who seems to live life directly from her heart. I first met her years ago when she owned Mexico City's best boutique shop, The Feathered (and while it's now closed, it remains, in my opinion, the best boutique to have existed in CDMX).
 
After closing The Feathered she hit the reset button and created a platform inviting designers, artists, and artisans to collaborate and inspire change via responsibly made products and objects. She views this new project, Loona, as a way to create without harming the planet. 
 
Loona creates editions designed hand-in-hand with small designer labels and produced hand-in-hand with artisans from all over the world. The project is based entirely on the concept of environmental sustainability, circularity and the creativity that can come from collaboration to create a better world.
