Warren's Point

A few days prior, my sister and I ventured down to Warren's Point in Little Compton, Rhode Island for an afternoon picnic. Though visited on a gusty April afternoon, Warren's Point is rather the epitome of a serene summer oasis, a tiny gem of our precious coastline with classic New England architecture, sweeping views of the Atlantic and for the most part, rather underdeveloped thanks to the 1938 hurricane. Provisions were procured at Provender Fine Foods followed by a visit to The Cottage at Four Corners where to my delight, discovered AERIN's new lighting collection on display. (Obsessed with this sexy antique brass and black Clemente Table Lamp). In the summer, we would have most certainly secured an ice cream cone across the street at Gray's Ice Cream....

LKRE

Meet Libby Kirwin. Libby, is my former boss, mentor and friend who played a large role in the beginning of my career. She is, more importantly, the founder of Libby Kirwin Real Estate ("LKRE") a boutique real estate and property management firm headquartered in Newport, Rhode Island. From the moment Libby and I met, we clicked and I couldn't wait to work for her - I never felt so confident trusting someone so quickly. She has the most discerning eye, infectious work ethic and unrelenting passion for her work. She is akin to that senior girl in high school that was untouchably cool. I couldn't wait to learn more from her every day and every moment with her was a learning experience.

As Director of Marketing for LKRE, I was responsible for developing and executing all marketing and PR strategies as well as leveraging our brand strategy. In time, LKRE really took off and exemplified the modern leader in what was traditionally, a rather stuffy, stale industry.

Above: My first marketing campaign at LKRE, our "Inspiration Campaign" in 2011.

Given Libby's keen eye and exquisite taste, I believe one of her strengths is her design and renovation consulting business. Below are an assortment of transformations she is behind. Be sure to visit her website for the full LKRE experience. Thanks for your inspiration, Libby!
