Why did you join TSC Membership?
The diversity of the businesses represented in TSC—while still being women-focused, and southern-inspired—strikes the perfect balance between connecting with people I have things in common with, and those with VERY different experiences. Gives us a place to start, and a ton of space to learn together.
What is a favorite small business you like to shop or support?
SSYS, Hale House, Willow Tree, Slice of Sunshine Consulting!!
Where do you go to get your inspiration now?
Inspiration can be something we search for, something we stumble on, or something we make. I tend to make my own by surrounding myself with sources of joy, experience, and reflection. I wear the fashion that makes me happy and style my home in a way that brings me personal joy. I try new experiences without bias or prejudice. And I ask the hard questions of myself and of those who know me so I can constantly look inward. That combination of joy, experience, and reflection is a non-stop inspiration generator. I know what I want and why!!
What is the best business advice you have ever given or received?
“If it costs you your peace, your standards, or your integrity, it’s too expensive.”
Meet Lissy Rawl of Little Fish BOATEAK
Hi, I’m Lissy, the founder and designer behind little fish BOATEAK, with an interior design background from Michigan State University and a lifelong love of texture, color, and creating with my hands. What started with fabric and wallpaper sample books (and a little rope) turned into a jewelry line inspired by coastal living and everyday comfort.
I began designing out of my garage so I could stay home with my two “little fish” Woodley and Willa—hoping to show them that with hard work, creativity, and a never-give-up spirit, you really can make your dreams happen. Most recently, I teamed up with fellow interior designer Kelly Caron to launch Clover + Palm, a high-end resort jewelry brand rooted in timeless style and coastal soul.

Why did you join TSC Membership?
I joined TSC because it connected me with so many talented brands, business owners, and driven women who truly understand how hard it is to build a brand. Building a brand isn’t easy (or glamorous all the time), so having a community where we can share resources, ask questions, and be honest about the ups and downs means everything.
I truly love learning from others—I’m a total sponge—and it’s so nice to grow alongside women who are cheering each other on instead of competing.
What is a favorite small business you like to shop or support?
I love supporting local artists and women-owned businesses on Hilton Head Island—especially creatives like Frederika of Java Burrito, Leli Holmesand 7th and Palm.
Where do you go to get your inspiration now?
I’ve always been inspired by classic, timeless style. As a young girl, walking into my first Ralph Lauren store felt magical—I was completely in awe. That experience really stayed with me.
I’m endlessly inspired by preppy, coastal style—pieces that feel effortless, lived-in, and enduring rather than trendy. I love design that tells a story and stands the test of time, and that philosophy influences everything I create.
What is the best business advice you have ever given or received?
Never give up. I fail constantly, but honestly, that’s usually what leads me to the next thing. I work hard, I don’t quit, and there’s something creative and strong inside me that just won’t let me stop.
I don’t always know where this journey is taking me, but I know I’m meant to keep going and chase big goals.
Meet Pam Wingard, Artist
Hi, I’m Pam Wingard. I paint abstracted expressive paintings, most with a coastal or travel theme. I sell my work online and in galleries and shops in the Southeast. I also design art for products inspired by the coast, teach art workshops, and write about places that inspire me. I recently moved from Charlotte to Charleston and am enjoying being a tourist in my new city.
Why did you join TSC Membership?
I joined the TSC to connect with other women, share knowledge, and learn something! I’ve attended a few summits on Sea Island and looking forward to reconnecting with such a supportive group of women.
What is a favorite small business you like to shop or support?
I love buying gifts and handmade items on Etsy to support small businesses. I have also enjoyed watching past TSC presenters and attendees grow their businesses. I love the Old Whaling Company’s products, Red Clay Hot Sauce, and Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. I also like the home decor items by Charlotte artists Laura Park and Windy O’Connor.
Where do you go to get your inspiration now?
I’m inspired by traveling and seeing new places, which I attempt to do as often as possible. I also love to walk on the beach to clear my head.
What is the best business advice you have ever given or received?
Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. You’ll only regret the things you didn’t do, not what you did, even if it failed.
