After years of working with women to start small businesses in rural areas of Latin America, Heatherjean became inspired to start her own mission-driven company that creates economic opportunities for women. She merged her love for fashion and social entrepreneurship into the Proxy concept and officially launched the company in early 2009. While she is currently very dedicated to growing the company, Heatherjean spends her free time supporting other entrepreneurs and traveling to Spanish-speaking companies to enjoy the sun, tropical flora, and local culture. She loves her bike, indie rock, the beach, books, and everything organic.
