Amanda Helman
Co-owner
Can’t keep this babe locked down to a desk. She’s constantly keeping things running (literally) and supporting all assets of the team - whether it’s jumping in to ship, transforming our back room at Hidden Gem for the next pop-up, or remerchandising the store to keep it looking fresh. Amanda is our go-to maintenance babe and office dad combined. If you need something built, fixed, or figured out - she’s our girl.

"Make cool shit, take no shit."
Susan Logsdon
co-owner
Sooze is our driving creative force - designing everything and anything for our Gems brands. Often locked in her office, she’ll drop a brand new collection (that is perfect btw) without ever saying a word. She’s our quiet calm who is constantly ideating, assessing, pondering and scheming. Unhinged stickers? That’s Sooze. Dope brand new tee? Sooze again. Perfectly aligned marketing assets? You guessed it - Sooze.

"Be the girl who decided to effing go for it."
Maggie Jarvis
VP of Business Operations
Started as a store associate in 2021 and has since grown into our Ops & Wholesale Manager, Shipping Specialist, and CFO. She keeps orders moving, customers happy, and the numbers in check, all without missing a beat. If something needs to be handled, streamlined, or figured out yesterday, she’s already on it.
Scorpio
"You are magic, baby."
Lo Dugan
VP of Brand Marketing & Events
Since 2022, she’s been the unofficial project manager of GG + HG, aka the one turning chaos into timelines and ideas into actual, real-life events. She leads brand strategy, brings our wildest concepts to life, and somehow keeps the whole team moving in the same direction. Equal parts creative brain and certified kitten wrangler.
Capricorn
"Give em hell."
Grace Shannon
Apothecary Production Lead
Headphones on, audiobook queued, and she’s in her zone, cranking out all of our hand-made products. Since 2021, she's making sure all of you badass babes get your fave roll-ons, room sprays, and prayer candles. And of course she's always working on the next idea.
Sagittarius
"Don't forget to fill your own cup"
Alayna McCoy
Digital Content Manager
Our content queen since 2023. She’s running our socials, crafting emails you actually want to open, sliding into DMs, and keeping our wholesale besties in the loop. Equal parts strategist and certified yapper, she knows exactly what to say and when to say it. And yes, she’s absolutely trying to make us go viral on TikTok.
Libra
"It's a damn good day to give a damn"
Jadyn Doty
Retail Store Manager
She’s in charge of making sure our stores don’t just run, they thrive. In her role since 2023, she's a natural at knowing when to hype her team up and when to get them in formation, making sure the shelves look cute AF, and using her Gen Z brain to keep us up to date on trends! If you hear Conan Gray blasting, you know she's working.
Capricorn
"Take up space!"
John Singleton
Bar Manager
Since 2024, he’s stepped into his role as our unofficial chaos coordinator. Keeping the drinks flowing, the vibes high, and the night moving exactly how it should. Quick on his feet and always in the mix, we call him Hurricane John for a reason. Every good night at HG has a little bit of him in it.
Aquarius
"Support your local disco dive bar"
Caitlyn Nguyen
Bar Manager
She's been holding it down at HG since 2024, bringing a cool, calm, collected energy that keeps in everyone in check. In typical Virgo fashion, she can do it all. She’s just as involved in dreaming up new drinks as she is making sure we’re stocked and set behind the scenes. And she always makes time for a full glam.
Virgo
"You've got what it takes"
Miranda Bess
Events Manager
In 2024, she transitioned into the events position after a year as a store associate at Golden Gems. Now, she treats every private party and bar event like it's her own, ensuring the vibes are high and the decor is Pinterest-esque. She's the hostess with the mostest (and always has a killer fit to match).
