Heather Wood

Chief Operating Officer Who are you and what do you bring to Curate? As the COO, I make sure that we get to where we’re going. I help take all of the ideas, dreams, and slightly crazy things we want to do and figure out how we actually make them happen. What makes you exceptional? What I really bring is heart. I have a strong instinct for people, what they need, where they thrive, and how to bring out the best in them. As Curate grows, I care as much about who we are becoming and how it feels to get there as I do about what we’re building. What does JOY mean to you? Joy is the assurance of hope. It’s not dependent on things being good or easy. It’s knowing there is always something greater to hold onto, finding the good right where I am, and sharing it with the people I love. Outside of Curate… Give me a slow beach day with nowhere to be, except for a post-sunset dinner reservation with all my favorite people in one place. Bonus points if my dog, Goose, gets to be there too.

What makes them exceptional? A detail only they could claim. My creativity is really a culmination of everything that’s shaped me, from growing up in New York and having parents who worked in retail, to my own love for fashion, music, and art. Curate gives me an outlet to bring all of those influences together and put a piece of myself into what we create. What does JOY mean to you? Joy to me is creating moments and memories that stay with you for a lifetime. It’s being able to look back, even when you’re far removed from that moment or at your lowest, and remember what it felt like to be completely free, grateful, and happy. It’s that almost childlike feeling of pure happiness that reminds you of the people, experiences, and moments that make life special. One human detail: a passion, quirk, or fact that makes them real and memorable I’m basically a living trivia box. I love learning random facts about things that probably aren’t important, and I’m always the person who has to hit you with, “Fun fact…” in the middle of a conversation.
