Gruman & Nicoll

It's no real surprise that Lissa Gruman ended up surrounded by chefs and food. With a mother who was a fashion devotee, as well as a great cook, Lissa spent her formative years pouring through magazines following clothing designers and looking for the best recipe to tackle. Lissa began her career at Nordstrom, and later worked developing special events for the downtown Seattle Bon Marche (now Macy's)
