And so in October 2017, the Stanford MBA graduate launched Year & Day, after a decade spent in brand marketing and e-commerce, including time at Tiffany & Company. But don't mistake casual with low-quality: Year & Day is committed to craftsmanship, durability and sustainability. The ceramic pieces are made in Portugal and boast a semi-matte glaze, adding to their perfectly Instagrammable aesthetic .
Duryea shares:"I built a budget and began meeting with angel investors to pitch the business and raise capital to launch. Eleven months later, our website went live and Instagram quickly became the number one way in which we reached new people. We also had some really fantastic press accolades and celebrity endorsements, which helped to build our credibility."
