Gabriela Anastasio: Founder of Anastasio Home

At a young age, Gabriela Anastasio fell in love with stone while visiting the work sites of her father’s landscaping business. Throughout her childhood, she began to associate a new patio or an updated blue-stone trim around a pool with good fortune, and years later, in 2021, she launched her home accessories brand, Anastasio Home, with a single category: stone trays. The brand quickly gained popularity for its expanding offering of upcycled, luxury home accessories, produced by the company’s factory in India. That being said, Anastasio’s journey to building her business was anything but linear. After graduating with a degree in art, she spent over a decade in public relations, eventually working her way up to director of communications at the luxury watch brand, Tudor. Combining the skill set she gained from her early career with her art education and love of stone, Gabriela decided to bet on herself, and soon after, Anastasio Home was born.
