Stephanie went to school at Arizona State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in textiles and fashion merchandising. Stephanie worked in management for several high-end department stores, after which she worked in sales for a major consumer products company. After trying to buy high-end gifts for her nieces and not finding the quality of products she wanted she started making her own line of accessories for babies. She now has her own line of clothing for infants to size 6x. Stephanie has two partners, her mother, Elizabeth Roehler, who also helps with designing, and her husband, Michael Pytlinski, who created the computer program that keeps the company going.

	Penelope PeaPod With her idea and basic drawings in hand, Shelagh approached her friend Pamela Bell, a co-founder of Kate Spade handbags. Pamela introduced her to a sample maker who made prototypes using Kate Spade fabrics. Peapod Enterprises, LP, was born in the fall of 2004, just two weeks before the birth of Shelagh's twins, Zoe and Elliot. Having secured a meeting with the President of FAO Schwarz, Shelagh walked in to his office with her samples and a piece of cardboard with fabric glued on to it representing her line. In a matter of minutes she received not only validation for her ideas, but also her first customer. Loving the concept, the world-renowned store's President asked how quickly he could buy some of the actual product. With a brood now totaling seven, and an exciting business burgeoning, Shelagh had her hands full. Enter Lorna Brett Howard. A Chicago mother of five with 20 years of experience in communications, public relations and brand management, Lorna joined the company as Shelagh's partner in 2006.

	Timi and Leslie While the accessory-design and comedy worlds have very little overlap, there is at least one common denominator between the two, and that's handbag designer Leslie Newton. Before Newton turned her hand bag-making hobby into a full-time profession, she studied and peformed with the Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles. In fact, the Delicious Dish public radio sketch that was later performed on Saturday Night Live was created by Newton. While still performing, Newton started designing handbags for herself. She can now see her bags she's created just about everywhere. Inspired by her collection of vintage handbags that spans the 1930s through the 1960s, Newton’s bags are vintage inspired working with both leather and fabrics, and are sold in stores all over the world.
