“I’m so lucky to have excellent business partners in most of my ventures, so we’re able to share the tasks that need to be done.”

E ntrepreneurship is in Savannah Belsher-MacLean’s blood, you could say: both of her parents are successfully self-employed, something that had an impact on her from an early age. “I come by the lifestyle honestly,” she says. “I grew up witnessing my parents working so hard every day/all day, and seeming fulfilled at the end of the long days.” Belsher-MacLean’s parents built their familial way of life through music, art, and fashion; and their daughter has greatly expanded on that over the years. “I’ve tested a lot of paths and have acquired a fairly colourful professional history - I am a certified makeup artist, choreographer/dancer and coordinator for multiple concert series productions, and have been the owner and editor-in-chief of an indie fashion magazine.”
Belsher-MacLean’s most current undertaking is her recent procurement of Green Eye Designs – a boutique and consignment shop in Charlottetown. As one of the original makers showcased there, Belsher-MacLean saw the new business venture as a natural complment to her repertoire. “As well as being the owner of Green Eye Designs, I’m the creator of Swoon Creations and Vintage, co-owner of wedding venue and vacation rental Hazelbrook Homestead, and co- founder of model casting agency Essence Model Management,” she says. “I’m so lucky to have excellent business partners in most of these ventures, so we’re able to share the tasks that need to be done.”
Green Eye Designs is certain to have a bright and creative future in the hands of Belsher-MacLean and her talented staff, Callista Gilks, Kylie Jensen, Allison Kelly, and Rebecca Parent. And with all the shop’s current products made by woman-led businesses, Green Eye Designs certainly helps stoke the fire of support for their fellow Island women, and revel in the glow that is their much-deserved success.
