The story of the founder’s journey

Catbird Founders

The hardworking attitude of Rony has manifested ever since she was young and started working during the summer at various jobs: she has been a lifeguard, a bookstore personnel, and a futon shop employee. She experienced a lot of other jobs other than these, but the most memorable and experience-filled one was that with the futon shop. She had a big role in that place, that she was even in charge of hiring and firing, ordering, and basically every single thing needed to operate the place. She was young then, yet she had learned to somehow run a business on her own.

Her next job and serious career path afterwards was in graphic design, and while she worked as freelance, she was able to learn different business structures and operations. She had worked for Bliss Spa as well, at a crucial time in its operations: the acquisition by LMVH. In such a great timing, Rony was able to see a business booming, as well as the transformation of people’s jobs. It was also in the midst of that freelance career that she started her own business that she called Catbird.

From a fashion boutique to a jewelry store

It was a sudden opening of a space to rent near her apartment that prompted Rony to open up her own store in 2004. The inspiration behind the name of her business was from an Audubon poster she owned, featuring a species of birds named Catbird.

Catbird started as a boutique shop that offered various kinds of items, which include home goods and clothing, and other things she got from various local designers. While that was going on, the founder started creating pieces of jewelry at her own home and also started to hire local jewelers. Through that effort, Catbird started to shift its focus on a more jewelry-centered selling. After more than three years of booming sales and proliferating business, Catbird opened a second store. It was driven by the idea of its own founder that people get more joy and fun when shopping for jewelry; and that is experienced by both the buyer and the seller. The second store then only sold jewelry and Catbird found a great community of jewellers in Williamsburg to help its business.

Throughout the years of its existence, Catbird escalated from a small and struggling business into a huge jewelry brand with 35 jewelers among a total of 80 employees.
