I have a great job.
Its (mostly) fun; we make and sell things that can actually make your home better, and we give people answers to their needs. All in all, pretty cool.
I also get to delve into a larger scale world by my involvement with C2 Paint - with the added bonus of being one of the people who actually gets to NAME those paint colors! Again, pretty cool.
Recently I had the honor of being interviewed for an article in one of the independent paint store trade journals (betcha didn't even know there was more than one of those magazines out there, did you?). The topic: the changing role of women in the paint industry.
Over the years, I have met (and worked with) women at all levels; chemists, CEOs, store managers, sales staff and receptionists . Some of us have been on a more traditional trajectory, while others of us have not. Interestingly, even though there are many, many women in our industry - apparently we are still a bit unusual. Or perhaps not so unusual anymore, but our roles have evolved and that makes us stand out, even today.
I don't mind standing out. Like I said, I have a great job.

Being part of the Marketing Committee is the best
About Robin Daly
- Seattle's "Paint Princess"
- A Daly's employee since birth, I swear that sometimes I have Daly's Benite running through me veins! My Grandfather was a designer in the 1930's (before we were called that), and my grandmother led the business as a young widow in the 50's when many Mom's stayed at home. You might think that not much has changed in the paint world since the 1950's... I mean, it's still just paint, right? However, I wonder what my grandfather or grandmother would think if they saw the stores today... That being said, the Paint Princess path often takes interesting turns and changes directions; keeps life interesting.
