KATE ADAMS AND ZHIVKO YANKOV
Kate Adams is the owner of Lash & Brow Design Co. She opened the business in 2008 while pregnant with her second daughter. Her goal was to make others feel known, loved and cherished while making them feel beautiful. Kate has a huge heart to give back to others. From working on burn survivors to cancer survivors and donating services and time to other nonprofit organizations. She now has a team of women that help her do the same and is so grateful for like-minded individuals to work with. When she isn’t at work she is at home with her husband Chris who she met swing dancing and her 4 beautiful daughters. As a family they love to surf, ski, and travel. They also are getting their Ph-d from YouTube university on home renovations as they are remodeling their 80’s home. A quote that sits with Kate is from one of her former clients who passed “ you can’t wait til life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.” -nightbird
