Deborah owns Van Cleve Bridal in Paoli, Pennsylvania, and is the president and founder of The Van Cleve Collection. Deborah’s career journey started in the classroom as a teacher, but she quickly realized she needed to pivot. She moved into the interior design space, then sold accessories at home parties before purchasing her first boutique.
With over 35 years of design experience, Deborah could retire, but she loves the brand, the people, and the industry so much that she’s not ready to slow down. In this episode, Deborah talks about the best business decisions she’s made and what advice she has for aspiring entrepreneurs.
