Our Story
They've known each other through work, but their friendship started during the pandemic. They joined company virtual events and chatted about similar interests. Patricia shared virtual music events with Christian that were happening in Miami since he lived in lockdown in Los Angeles. Christian's dedication to work brought him on a trip to New York which was Patricia’s key sales market. They found free time to hang out after a long day of meetings: they played arcade games, sang karaoke, and checked out beautiful architecture before going back to their prospective cities. It was a night to remember! Eventually, the stars aligned and Patricia moved to LA for big opportunities. Christian picked her up from the airport and showed her the city. He volunteered his weekends and free labor to build nearly every piece of furniture that she bought (with the highest level of detail) while she drank wine and they listened to country music… The rest is history, and they share a beautifully decorated and plant-filled apartment in Marina Del Rey with their gorgeous rescue pup, Lilo.
