What Money Can’t Buy, Doing What You Love and Finding Faith Again :The Unexpected Story of Ann Lopez
Episode Description
In this episode of 60 Minutes With a Woman, host Sara Khliss sits down with Ann Lopez, founder and CEO of Studio 790, a Miami-based, women-led interior design firm that has grown into a multi seven figure company.
Ann’s journey is a powerful story of reinvention. After leaving a successful corporate career in Chicago, she started over in Florida at 38, building her business from her dining room table without a design degree or MBA. Through creativity, faith, and resilience, she transformed her vision into a thriving firm working on high profile projects, including the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
Today, Ann is not only a recognized leader in her industry, featured in Architectural Digest and HGTV Magazine, but also a mentor and speaker, empowering women to embrace bold new beginnings and redefine success on their own terms.
