Over that time, Polly lived and worked in London, Paris, Milan, and Barcelona where her love of architecture and design flourished. Polly made the move to Los Angeles in 2011 and has since immersed herself in various aspects of business and design. Positions as Senior Business Manager for a Luxe Apparel brand & Management at a Boutique Architecture firm solidified her passion for client-facing negotiations in the luxury market. When she's not hustling hard to find the best listings, you will find Polly enjoying sunsets on the beach with her rescue dog, Moose, working out in a Pilates class or enjoying the renowned beauty of the Southern California Coast she is so grateful to call home.
