BIO:
Elizabeth Menegon spent her career in the hotel industry until covid struck NYC in March 2020. Determined to make the best out of a difficult situation, and while struggling to find products to cure her dry skin, she launched her all-natural, small batch skincare company, SugarSkinn. Always having had a love for dogs, Elizabeth created a product for dog’s paws called Pawsome Paw Balm that not only helped cure dry, cracked puppy paws, but gave back to animal shelters in her area through a portion of proceeds. This project sparked a passion for another entrepreneurial journey and prompted Elizabeth to find a way to help dogs in a more meaningful way. Through many conversations and much research, Elizabeth uncovered one of the biggest issues that lead to dogs being surrendered to shelters—mismatched owners and dogs. Hands2Paws was born in 2022 and has quickly grown to be loved by breeders, animal shelters and dog lovers of all kinds.
