Meet the Team: Breanne, Customer Insights

It's time to get to know the team! We'll be rolling out profiles on the Poppy Barley staff over the next few weeks, and it only makes sense to start with our Customer Insights Associate, Breanne, as you've likely been interacting with her already. Leading our Concierge and Customer Service department, Breanne is the one to answer all your questions on measurement and design, and the first to receive and process your orders. A recent B.Comm graduate from the University of Alberta, Breanne has a serious history with shoes: her first two jobs ever were with the Aldo Group at Transit (now Spring) and Sterling. FYI: Her favourite colour is pink. Read our short Q&A with Breanne after the jump, and if you want to set up an appointment to get measured and view our flats and boots in person, contact Breanne at concierge@poppybarley.com.
