349 - OT Series with Harmony Maraldo and the National Upholstery Association

Harmony Maraldo is an upholsterer, a pricing strategist, and the current president of the National Upholstery Association. By day, she works as the Head of Pricing & Packaging for a tech company in Boston. On nights and weekends, she runs a small traditional upholstery business, Tack & Tuft while also juggling the demanding needs of directing a non-profit. Harmony believes that demand for reupholstery services will continue to rise as consumers increasingly choose sustainability over convenience. She seeks to build awareness of the craft and to develop training and career paths for those interested in entering the trade.
