South Hill Designs

South Hill Designs is a lifestyle business for fun-loving people Two dads, five little girls, and the desire to make a difference... These were the seeds that made South Hill an astonishing success within one year of launching. South Hill is a home party company that offers beautiful personalized jewelry. Just as important, it's an international community of women entrepreneurs, providing a lifestyle business designed to be fun, inclusive, creative and profitable. Founders Brian Palmer and Joe Ochoa were successful executives in corporate America, but that wasn't the environment they wanted to share with their young daughters. They dreamt of building a different world to prosper in for their children, and by extension for thousands of other women. Rather than launch a conventional company that would only enrich themselves, they pictured an opportunity that would spread its benefits to more and more people. Encouraged by their wives, Riley and Tamara, they set out to realize their vision. "South Hill was shaped to give women entrepreneurs a chance to shine while embracing their love of living," Joe says, "Our idea was to offer a simple business based on an irresistible product, and then build a culture with women-friendly values: creativity, collaboration and caring." Brian adds: "There's another core value that defines South Hill, and that's fun. We believe that business can be a social lifestyle to enjoy with friends, with love and laughter every step along the way."
