Sea and her family live on Winona Lake, but she and her husband lived in Chicago and New York City before relocating to Warsaw. Sea and her husband have four children between the ages of 10 and 21. Sea has been working as a contemporary art advisor for the past ten years, but before that, she had a professional career as an attorney.
When asked to share some advice with other women wanting to start their own business, Sea shared,
“Believe strongly in yourself. I think it’s also healthy to feel a solid amount of fear and stress. Use that nervous energy to extract excellence from yourself. If you wake up each day feeling a lot of excitement and a little fear, I think you are on the right path with your business.”
