I grew up in the crystal trade. My father sold crystals door to door in Brazil to pay for university, moved the family to Canada, and opened a small shop in Kitchener, Ontario. That shop became Stonebridge Imports.
I work on the unglamorous side of the business: sourcing, importing, pricing, inventory systems, and moving heavy, fragile, beautiful objects across borders.
