​While walking the shores of Lake Michigan during the beginning of the pandemic, Dee began to collect beach glass, driftwood, and shells from the waters. Years ago she began as an art student and now she's come full circle by creating artwork from found treasures. Adding handmade gifts from other artisans to her inventory, she created Lake Life Social: a place where art, memories, and community meet.   
 

Beyond this new adventure, Dee has spent over 20 years creating live events and has worn several different hats in the hospitality industry. From restaurants to full-service catering, destination management, and now to full-service event planning, her experience is deep but her passion to produce meaningful events is even stronger.
