Lenny Williams
www.gardenpartynyc.com
Lenny, owner of Garden Party, NYC's freshest green-minded events company, hails from the great state of Texas, a place with a style all its own (think crocheted beer can hats). She comes from a long line of crafty types and learned early on to recycle/re-use. Her grandma's old jelly jars were great for storing buttons, sipping sun tea and harnessing the magic of fireflies on a summer evening. It is this inherited thrifty-ness that inspires her both as an artist and as a businesswoman.
more »Lenny originally moved to NYC to study acting at the neighborhood playhouse. She began her career as a Creative Director at a public relations firm, a job that let her combine her passion for design and throwing parties. Eventually Lenny struck out on her own and has never looked back.
Since going solo, she has helped coordinate & plan events for some of the world's biggest brand and has designed sets and styled shoots, just a few of her many talents. Check Lenny out in Tease, a new book out about the ultimate guide to recycling your old t-shirts, where she is featured alongside design rock stars Patricia Fields, Todd Oldham, Amy Sedaris and others.
An OM Yoga certified instructor, she balances work with play--currently by baking vegan cupcakes and eating them with her boyfriend.
