Team behind the VIBE
Amy and Audra met in the summer of 2021 when Audra and her family moved in next door. They quickly bonded over their love of design, family and living a life filled with friends and good vibes. As their friendship grew they began to dream of a business they would someday start together. But the dreaming phase didn’t last long as the two decided not to wait for some future date and chose to dive head first into the exciting world of entrepreneurship.
MEET AMY
CO-OWNER
Amy is a born and raised Arizona native. She’s a wife and mother to 3 beautiful children with a degree in both Interior Design and Communication. Creativity runs through her blood. She spent her early career doing residential interior design but changed course to be a stay-at-home-mom in 2011. While enjoying her time at home with her children she discovered other ways to ignite her passions for creativity by starting her own online clothing business. Since walking away from the clothing business, she has had an open heart and mind about her next adventure. When Audra approached her with a new business opportunity Amy jumped at the chance to get her creative juices flowing again.
MEET AUDRA
CO-OWNER
Audra is also an Arizona native. A wife to an amazing husband, and mom to 2 beautiful, quirky girls. She completed her education at Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles with a degree in Merchandising and Marketing. From there, she embarked on a career in Visual Merchandising with Macy's, and then transitioned to an Interior Stylist for the model home industry. Her days are filled with endless shopping, design, and model home installations.
After moving to the same neighborhood as Amy, the stars seemed to align as their kids, husbands, and dogs all connected and hung out often. As soon as Audra walked into Amy's beautiful home, she suspected that there would be something more to this friendship. She asked if Amy would be interested in going back to work and helping design model homes. Amy said "maybe," not seeming so sure. Audra probed further. "I have a better idea. What do you think about starting a business in gifting?" This was an idea she had been simmering on for a while. Amy's ears perked up, ideas started flowing, and we are happy to launch Vibe Box as the result.
MEET SARAH GRACE
ASSISTANT MANAGER
Sarah Grace Gerber was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She is married to an incredible and loving husband. Growing up in a family of women who owned local and small businesses, Sarah deeply values the importance of supporting and shopping small. With over ten years of experience in the retail world, she also brings expertise in professional organizing, which has fueled her love for merchandising.
Undoubtedly a creative at heart, Sarah has a passion for embroidery, decor, writing, vintage fashion, styling, and more. She first discovered Vibe Box while planning her wedding and searching for bridesmaid boxes. Later, through a mutual friend in Moon Valley, she learned that they had opened a store. Sarah was thrilled to find a place where retail was more than just shopping; it was personal, creative, and a unique experience in curating boxes.
Sarah Grace is beyond grateful to be part of the Vibe Box team and to work with such amazing women who have a deep understanding and love for creativity, personalization, local vendors, the community, and more.
