About Us
Nancy Soriano and Jo Packham of WHERE WOMEN CREATE find creative women and women entrepreneurs even more exciting today than when they first met 7 years ago. Nancy, then editor of Country Living, and Jo, owner and president of Chapelle, Ltd., quickly saw in each other a kindred creative and enterprising spirit (could it be because both are Leos?). Their friendship and professional association developed out of a mutually felt intuition that creative women need one another in order to grow, to be inspired, and to follow their dreams. Nancy and Jo are passionate, each one in her own way, about bringing creative women together. Their vision of what that community might look like, coupled with a can-do attitude and oodles of business know-how, is the driving force beyond THE CREATIVE CONNECTION. As they are discovering on this newest joint venture, there are no limits when you follow your bliss.
