I have always had a passion for the beach and everything related to it. Growing up I acquired the nickname Bikini Geek because I was so obsessed with different bikinis and bikini styles. Living in Miami I quickly saw that there were a lot of ultra-popular designers here that had little or no online presence. I decided to reach out to some of the designers and see if they were interested in selling online, the results were really mixed, the majority of the designers were not interested or asked for huge purchases of inventory before they would even consider selling with me. I kept at it, my favorite quote by Colin Powell being. "A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work."
