The Heart & Mind behind Refined

A love note from our founder

Suher...

With a fun fiery personality and an Aussie accent for days, if you’ve met me, you’ll likely never forget me. I work hard, and love hard, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I believe lessons learned help create the person you are and where you are going, and when you are other side, should be met with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I’m living my best life because I took a chance on myself and with love, looked at myself in the mirror and said “Get the F up and get your life back together, STOP being the victim. Start being the solution and not the problem.” The hardest thing I have ever had to do, BUT THE BEST THING I EVER DID. So here I am doing what feels right and am living proof of second chances and manifestation, following my path of what brings me joy, and helping others do the same.

Refined and Co. is my passion project for the industry that I love and adore. I built these memberships with you in mind: the creative spirit, the overachievers, and the go-getters. Being your Super Connector is what I do best, and I love getting to cheer you on with the most incredible tribe in town. 

Let’s do this together.
