Kate McLeod’s home office is part workspace, part creative sanctuary and part living scrapbook.
The founder invites Forbes Vetted inside her New York City home, from the light-filled room where she works surrounded by crystals, cookbooks and family keepsakes to the kitchen where an experiment with cocoa butter became the Body Stone.
Kate also opens up about the woman who changed the course of her life, her unexpected journey from finance to pastry school to entrepreneurship, and what she learned watching her husband, Hinge founder Justin McLeod, keep going when the company nearly failed.
Step inside the deeply personal spaces, objects and stories that shape how Kate McLeod creates, works and lives.
