Powerhouse Panel 2026

Jan 29

NORTHWEST MUSEUM OF ARTS + CULTURE, JANUARY 2026

Vested’s 2026 Powerhouse Panel brought focused, intentional energy to the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture as women entrepreneurs gathered for an evening centered on leadership, strategy, and community. The night opened with mingling and photo booth fun before transitioning into a candid panel conversation featuring Cassie Cleary, Founder of Honest in Ivory Bridal and Dearly Consignment Bridal, Clarin McDerrah, commercial photographer and owner of The Now Now Space, and Danielle Nishiyama, salon owner of Craft Studio, educator, and visionary behind The Hair Symposium. Each panelist shared real-world insights drawn from lived experience, touching on growth, boundaries, pivots, and building sustainable businesses without losing yourself in the process. Attendees left with practical takeaways, renewed confidence, and a strong reminder that when women gather with intention, clarity and momentum naturally follow.
