For our annual Women of Pasadena feature, we linked up some of our favorite local women who are tied to the community by either residence or profession—and definitely spirit. We’re always happy to connect leaders in the community on our pages, and this year’s feature proved to be especially powerful, proving that two (or three) is better than one.
Come back for an intimate look at some of our town’s finest leading ladies.

Ning Chao guides a discussion with Martine Bury, VP of programming and experiential at NeueHouse Los Angeles and New York, and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, co-producing artistic director at A Noise Within.
Jennifer Ashton Ryan was along for the ride with Loretta Hidalgo Whitesides, founder of SpaceKind, and Nadia Chung, the 103rd Rose Queen.
Carole Dixon sat down with Linda Grace, proprietor of San Marino Café & Marketplace, and Susan Sarich, founder of SusieCakes.

Finally, photographer Peter Christiansen Valli shares insights into working alongside some of the city’s leading interior designers: Jeanne Chung, founder of Cozy Stylish Chic and Designer Domicile, Cynthia Lambakis, founder of Lambakis Interior Design, and Emily Hancock, principal of Rollins Andrew Interiors.
