I am Brontë E. Mock, co-founder and creative director at Be the Beautiful Life, and daughter of founder R. Shannon Mock. I approach this company with the belief that experiences and people matter exponentially more than things and seek to create meaningful experiences that inspire individuals to embrace beauty and joy in their lives. Drawing on my family’s values of prioritizing people and experiences over material possessions, I envisioned a company that would highlight and share my family’s diverse creative talents and capture the value in bringing those abilities together to create and share beauty in a natural and intentional manner. 

My talents and interests in the culinary arts and visual arts are accentuated by my father’s talents and passions for interior design, gardening, and travel; my mother’s teachings in writing, photography, and humanitarian efforts, as well as many other art forms and distinct talents from my siblings—all things that have added significant interest, joy, and beauty to my life. My main goal with Be the Beautiful Life is to provide people with access to not only beautiful objects but the stories, experiences, and connections that give them significance. 

Having experienced an upbringing of beauty and value, I was taught to share my talents and expound upon their value by actively living and teaching others to recognize talent and beauty. For me, it seems only natural to create a space for people to access and benefit from the creations and beauty that have come so naturally to me and my family.
