They say, “coming home is one of the most beautiful things.” Born and raised in Eastern Europe, Polina has carried beauty and home with her throughout her life and across borders. At her core, is the powerful belief that home is not just a place we reside, but a place where we hold and evoke our strongest emotions. Her interest in art and clothing design as a young child drew her into years of academic art study in Europe and led her to study in the United States at the age of 19. Currently, Polina, or Polie as she prefers to be called, lives in Salt Lake City with her husband and two children. Her art and design has taken on a whole new layer of meaning since having a family of her own. Creating an atmosphere of beauty and peace is her passion, and it seems to trail her wherever she goes.

Rachael Sharp brings a collaborative spirit and invaluable experience to our team. Creativity and her love for nature have been guideposts throughout her life, inspiring her to pursue graphic design, photography, and painting. Much of her childhood was spent on the ski slopes in Park City with her five siblings, where both of her parents were ski instructors.

She earned a degree in Graphic Design from the University of Utah and then worked for many well-known brands: Kraft, General Mills, SCJohnson, Starbucks, Cheerios, Keebler, Koolaid, Hallmark, and others. When her children were in elementary school she made the switch to teaching art at their school and also began volunteering for the PTA and yearbook. She still enjoys skiing and spends the off-season hiking, biking (both road and mountain), and boating. Rachael continues the family tradition of encouraging outdoor adventure as a coach for her son’s East High Mountain Bike Team. She plans to retire in Kauai and spend her days painting on the beach–a fitting goal. Based on her impressive track record, we’re betting she will make it happen.
