Color-obsessed maximalist, backyard-chicken lover, and proud mom to Hank and June. Dawn is a wannabe Italian and loves weight lifting, raw oysters, fashion, and all pizza (in no particular order). After a career as a terrorism analyst with the CIA, she decided creating and collecting beautiful treasures was much more satisfying and founded Something Vintage in her DC basement in 2012. Her wonderful husband Zach manages to embrace the crazy, all the while, now working as Director of Operations for Something Vintage.
Dawn loves colorful, handcrafted pieces because she believes life is too short for boring, neutral, mass-produced crap. She curates the inventory of Something Vintage, ensuring that all the pieces in our collection are unique and dopamine-inducing. From tinsel-upholstered MCM chairs to aqua blue Pelican coffee tables, the treasures of Something Vintage all have to meet her high bar.
Selected as BizBash’s Industry Innovator in 2022 and DC Magazine Dynamic Women 2023, Dawn has also been at the helm of Something Vintage being selected as Washingtonian’s Best Wedding Vendor and Editor’s Pick for multiple years in a row. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart, People, and In Style Magazines.
