Thanks to Some Great People….
For a very long time I have been wanting to thank a few people who have generously contributed their time and effort to One Pearl. First, I’d like to thank Mike Scricco of Keiler and Co., in Farmington, CT. He took a cold call from a very enthusiastic and driven woman, listened to my story, then told me he would be happy to help in any way he could. Mike introduced me to Lucas McHale, a talented graphic designer, who created the elegant and striking “look” for One Pearl. I am indebted to Keiler for everything they have done for me, for always being respectful of my visions and for their ability to flesh out my ideas. A perfect melding of the minds!

To my friend and renowned photographer John McDermott of Siem Reap, Cambodia for his incredibly breath-taking “beauty shots,” a huge thank you. John put much time and thought into these photos. One of my favorites, the blue topaz necklace wrapped around a banana trunk, took almost 13 hours to set up and shoot. It is an incredible photograph. John was reviewed in the New York Times, and was hailed as “the Ansel Adams of Southeast Asia.” Check out the article here.

These three people gave me a chance and helped me out at a time when I needed just that. To them I am forever grateful and appreciative. Their kindness and generosity is a gift I will not soon forget.
