It’s Thursday morning. What’s the scene at your workplace?
My mornings always begin with emails. I don’t keep any unread messages in my inbox — I take the time to answer everything right away. Part of that routine also includes signing petitions for animals, which is very close to my heart. From there, my day depends on what’s on my plate. It could mean sketching new designs, composing music, speaking with clients, or coordinating with colleges or sports teams on merchandise projects. Other days it’s rehearsal, planning shows, hiring musicians, or managing productions. I might be in a board meeting with the Florida Grand Opera or Leap for Ladies, working through goals for the upcoming season and planning next year’s initiatives.
What’s on the agenda for today?
Today, I’m flying back from Los Angeles after successful meetings there. On the plane, I’ll be editing my book, Life is a Bridge Trilogy.
Any bar or restaurant plans today, tonight, this weekend?
I’m the kind of person who goes to the same places all the time. I sit at the same table, I order the same thing. I like when people know me. I don’t like to change much; that’s just who I am.
Since I’m vegan, one of my go-to spots is Bellini in Coconut Grove. I recently joined the club at The Moore in the Design District. I also like ZZ’s Club over there. All of those restaurants, they know how to accommodate vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians; they figure it out. The chefs are very flexible to make alterations to a person’s needs.
How about a little leisure or culture?
I’m very fortunate to have so much culture around me. I’m always involved with the Florida Grand Opera, the Arsht Center, and the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. And of course, every December we have Art Basel.
What was your last great vacation?
I don’t really take vacations. I love to mix pleasure with work, so Los Angeles and New York are always great places for me. There’s always plenty of work happening, but at the same time, I get to see my friends and enjoy the laughter and moments we’ve shared throughout the years.
What store or service do you always recommend?
It’s very important for me to stay healthy. I love getting acupuncture and massages, and Holly Nobil is one of my favorite people for health upkeep. I also use Body Method Studio for assisted stretching. It helps me stay in shape. On top of that, I work with my choreographer, Dawn Price. We do a lot of dance classes together, which I really enjoy.
