Hey! I'm Crystal Cave
I grew up in upstate New York, where I was lucky enough to spend my childhood creating and dreaming up products for my Poppy’s national retail chain—a place where I discovered my passion for retail, product development + marketing.
Now, with several award-winning products to my name and features in ELLE, SELF, and NBC, I’ve made it my mission to help visionary entrepreneurs like you take that leap from dreaming to doing.
My morning walk to starbucks, praying the rosary, Adderall(late diagnosed ADHD girlie), Morning pages, barre class
Traveling, snuggling with my Pomeranian Bijou, cooking up a storm, strategizing content + launches
Lies, Get Rich Quick Schemes, short emails, thinking I can't be both girly + a strong biz woman, being boring
creating the things I wish existed, therapy, God + his timing, Grace, Dreaming + Doing, playing my range, voice texts
With Proven Structures and strategy used by the largest retail brands, I help you get Crystal C-L-E-A-R on the brand vision so you can create your legacy + get out of doom scrolling all the ideas buried in your iPhone notes.
My superpower is helping product creators get out of the overwhelm, burnout and constant day dreaming to actually doing the darn thing so you can finally launch and turn your day dream into your business
With a career that began on Madison Avenue working with powerhouse brands like Burton, Hasbro and Marvel, I honed my skills in competitive research and strategic business recommendations, transitioning my experience with luxury goods to commercial real estate with one of NYC's top brokerages. My passion for fashion led me to split my time between New York and Los Angeles, where I styled some of Hollywood's biggest stars (cough Taylor Swift cough). I then launched my own award-winning online styling school, empowering women to style themselves confidently and embrace their bodies.
But I knew there was more to offer—a brand that catered to women of all sizes, providing timeless staples updated with the latest trends. I launched Poppy Row through Kickstarter, raising $32k in 30 days.

My Favorite Things
Choosing my own adventure traveling someplace — whether's it's by myself or with friends, I've been to 33 countries...and counting!
my happy place!
Lake George, NY! It's my happy place I grew up going to my family's lake home + still travel there during summers!
My dog Bijou (french for "jewel). She may be a total fashionista dog but more than just looks -she's been my best friend for nearly a decade traveling the entire US with me!
I can quote every line + all the music in Legally Blonde, my fav movie of all time! (What!? Like its hard!?)
Barre saved my life + health. After being on such a journey with my health (used to be 2x my current size), moving my body finally felt fun + easy!
my guilty pleasure
My friends! Having been remote before anyone knew what it was, I've cultivated an amazing group of biz besties across the globe. Say hi to Chelsey!
