Genori McCormack is the founder of Creative House Consulting, a company born out of her own journey toward clarity and purpose. After taking a life-changing 3-month sabbatical, Genori discovered the profound impact of stepping away from the hustle and reconnecting with herself.

Inspired by this personal transformation, she’s now on a mission to help others create lives that are balanced, intentional, and full of meaning—both inside and out.

As a first-generation American with family from Panama, Genori’s drive comes from the sacrifices her family made to give her the opportunities she now has.

With a background in chemistry, commercial real estate, and the creative arts, Genori blends creativity with practicality to design spaces that nurture well-being and inspire productivity. She’s here to help you reconnect with what truly matters, whether through the environment you work in or the way you approach life. For Genori, it’s all about creating spaces and experiences that allow people to flourish—because when we’re healthy, we can truly thrive.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Genori traveling, seeking inspiration from new places and cultures. Her goal is simple: to help others live with intention and purpose, so they can create a life that feels as good as it looks.

Eleonora Brizi is a digital and crypto art curator previously based in New York, Rome and Beijing, now indefinitely living in the Metaverse.

She graduated and specialized in contemporary Chinese art and later started her new path dedicated to art and technology in New York, combining her knowledge of the art world with the need – of the art itself – to speak the language of the time, where the current dialogue is digital and technical.

Before landing in the world of art and tech, Eleonora spent six years in Beijing, China, where she worked for four years as an assistant to artist Ai Weiwei and two years as a representative in China under the curator Jerome Sans. In 2018, she studied blockchain technology and its application to art in New York. Here, following her art curator career in China, she became very active in the flourishing crypto-creative community, curating, promoting, and participating in many Crypto Art pioneer projects.

Also in 2018, she founded Breezy Art, a web3 art curation brand and habitat for digital and NFT art. Breezy Art exists at the crossroads of Art and Technology, investigating the spirit of our time. It promotes digital art and crypto art (NFTs) through curation and content creation.

Curation is the process by which art finds its voice and value. Breezy ensures that each project has its own unique curation, every artist has their story told, and every artwork finds its chapter in our narrative universe.
