Mary Gorman

Founder, COCO To The Trade

Mary spent the first 16 years of her career as a Financial Analyst on Wall Street. After taking some time off to raise her daughters, she returned to the workforce to pursue her passion: interior design. In the years since, her design work has evolved from a window treatment franchise to retail interior design and ultimately to positioning herself as an industry expert. As a brick-and-mortar business owner, Mary learned the ins-and-outs of the wholesale process and how to best navigate vendor relationships, and in that, found her niche. In working with designers, Mary has found a role that fulfills her creatively and gives her an outlet for her experiences in analytics and design. She is motivated every day by the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded people and help them streamline their process so they can be their most creative selves.
