Tamara definitely leads with her heart when it comes to her company, but that’s not to say she leaves the business part behind. On the contrary, with her background in advertising and marketing, she recognizes more than most the importance of having a solid business plan in place as you grow.


So she has balanced both heart and business as she has grown her company to what it is today. Starting with humble furniture beginnings, she is now the market leader of live edge furniture in Jamaica. Employing a full team of craftsmen in her 2 locations and selling her custom pieces as quickly as they can be made.


Follow along as we talk about how she started her business with fireworks, how she has continued to grow and maintain her lead in the market, why she thinks following your passion is a better plan than following the money, and much more.
