Were you born and raised in Boston? If not, what brought you here?
I was born in Newton and have worked with many Boston businesses throughout my career.
Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I started my business in 2004 after recognizing a growing need to improve comfort and well-being for employees who spend long hours at their desks.
My background is in office furniture design and supply, and over time, I saw firsthand how poor ergonomics could affect health, focus, and productivity. That realization led me to launch The Ergo Girls, where I specialize in creating ergonomic solutions that help people feel better, work smarter, and stay healthy.
