This week we're speaking to Kim Pepper, an art consultant and advisor from Philadelphia. Kim is warmth and passion incarnate, and her enthusiasm for what she does permeated our entire conversation. Kim shares her journey from working in the arts to founding her own art consulting business, Avec, a year ago.
In the early days of her business, she doubled down on reaffirming and building relationships, the latter she attributes to her growth over the last 12 months. What I loved about what Kim does, in a somewhat meta way, is her own creative art practice. Through connecting clients with artists and using storytelling as a tool for curating shows, she is practicing her own art form. And out of that, she's building a business that works for her.
