A friend and muse to Playa since our founding, Geri Hirsch (@gerihirsch) balances life as creative director (Saie Beauty), coffee shop owner (Neighorhood on La Brea in Los Angeles), and cool mom—all while re-designing her Hollywood Hills home and posting updates on her blog Because I’m Addicted.
Geri embodies many of the things that are central to our approach to essential California minimalism, so it only made sense that we asked her to kick off our new “Make Your Own Waves” series featuring radical entrepreneurs, creatives, movers & tastemakers from our community.
Passion: My family above all else, great friends, good food, clean beauty, coffee, art, 90’s R&B, renovation projects and good debates.
