Casey Everett
Casey Everett (CFA’14) of Amesbury, Mass., traveled to Washington, D.C., with Etsy in September 2016 to talk to members of Congress about issues affecting microbusinesses, specifically how state sales tax laws can cause confusion for owners, especially if they have a sales tax nexus in multiple states. She also addressed how to obtain benefits, like health and life insurance, that are affordable and accessible. Casey started her business, Hearth and Harrow, which features hand-printed textiles, in 2014 after the birth of her second child. She has been a finalist in the Martha Stewart American Made Awards, an Etsy Open Call finalist, and one of three finalists for HGTV Magazine Online’s Designer to Watch. She is based out of her Amesbury kitchen table.
