Hello!
With just 3 weeks left in Richmond, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the Rochester community. My name is Dianna and I am the owner of curate.
Prior to having children, I was both a special education teacher and yoga instructor. For just shy of five years, I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at home full time with my two little ones, Ella and Jack.
In late 2023, I started to notice that I had some extra bandwidth and creative energy that seemed to be yearning for an outlet. As 2023 turned into 2024, I quietly celebrated my early January birthday vision-boarding with a glass of wine. That same evening, while feeling inspired, i purchased a manifestation journal online. I spent the next month using my free time between preschool drop-off/pickup, laundry, and meal planning to answer the prompts and questions in the journal. During that process, I came up with the concept for curate and by April of 2024, I had established the LLC.
I officially launched curate in summer of 2024 and spent two years growing the business in Richmond hosting corporate events, neighborhood gatherings, mom groups, birthday parties, and more. I look forward to our next chapter together in Rochester.
My ultimate goal in opening curate was, and still is, to foster connection and create joy.
