Young Entrepreneur Starts a Jewelry Business

Collecting sea glass and seashells has been one of Jayna Kasiano's hobbies since she was a child. Her parents would take her to the beach often, which was her favorite place. Two years ago, she learned she could make these little jewels into wearable jewelry. Palau SBDC has helped her learn to expand her reach and is helping her to grow by offering tools, resources, and advice. It took a few months of research and testing jewelry items from different vendors to see which she could use to make her products. "Do what you love" is the advice she shares with others.

Foglia

Lawyer by day, and vegan chef by night, Peter Carvelli has been making a name for himself while developing a devoted following by hosting a series of popular pop-up events, private catering, and short-term residencies featuring his elevated vegan cuisine. As pandemic restrictions shifted in Rhode Island, "Chef Pete" decided the time was right to pursue his dream. Foglia officially opened to guests after an extensive renovation in downtown Bristol. Foglia has gathered accolades and coverage regionally and nationally, having won a Vegetarian Times "Best New Restaurant 2022" award after only three months of operation. According to Chef Pete, he received "excellent service and advice from Maggie (Longo) and Paul (Harden) of the RISBDC — couldn't have done it without them."
