ABOUT ASHLEY<\/b>
\n<\/b>Once upon a time, boutiques were elusive creatures that were difficult to find online. That\u2019s when our Founder Ashley Alderson first started The Hub based on her desire to shop boutiques around the world, regardless of her rural location. Hailing from North Dakota where her nearest shopping opportunity was over 300 miles away, she longed for a place online she could go to find and shop the boutiques she loved together in one place. What happened next was pretty exciting.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Once launched, Ashley\u2019s formal background in small business development and marketing began to foster a deeper community at the Hub. Ashley noticed that these owners she featured needed a greater voice in fashion, specialized coaching and training, and a central point to connect, collaborate, share tips and find tools to grow their businesses. Today, Ashley passionately leads The Hub and it\u2019s two sides of its platform, while still coaching and mentoring many boutique owners, and being an advocate for small businesses in fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is a wife, busy momma of 3, jewelry junkie, barrel racer, a cancer survivor, speaker of sarcasm, and heart for those with a dream.<\/span><\/p>\n
