Where have you been riding out the chaos of 2020?
Between NYC and East Hampton, NY.
Early bird or night owl? Who catches the worm? What is the worm in 2020?
I’ve done both during lockdown. In the beginning (March–April) I was staying up late and reading everything I could about COVID-19, but then I started to go to bed earlier during the summer months because it was lovely to wake up in the morning during the cooler part of the summer days and enjoy the sunrise. The people who catch the worms are the optimists and the individuals who see opportunities during challenging times. Success, no matter how you define it, is always the worm!
Can you describe your home/work setup and how you’ve been staying sane?
To be honest, it’s been stressful since we at The Wall Group are so accustomed to working as a group and in person. But I do have a home office in my NYC apartment, and set one up in one of our East Hampton bedrooms by ordering a small standing desk. It’s been great to see how everyone at TWG has come together on video calls to keep our business operating. That’s been the most rewarding experience.
Have you picked up any new hobbies? What's your party trick?
I’ve become an expert barista and can make a wicked cappuccino! My new (yet old) party trick is perfecting a margarita. I took a lesson from @theladybossy on Instagram, and my husband said it was great. That’s huge, considering he’s from Texas!
It’s January 2020. If you could give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?
Figure out your home gym setup FAST!
What’s the first thing you’d like to do in a post-COVID world?
Take a trip to Africa.
