WELCOME

Hi, I’m Vivian Sutton. I'm a student at the University of Miami studying Business Management with a minor in Entrepreneurship, with a strong interest in wellness, luxury, and the kind of brands & spaces that leave a lasting impression.

I have an entrepreneurial mindset, I’m drawn to brands and spaces that leave an impression, and I genuinely love connecting with people. I’m especially drawn to wellness, beauty, hospitality, and luxury because they shape experience, elevate how people feel, and create a sense of belonging.

At this stage of my life, I’m focused on learning, growing, and becoming the strongest version of myself while exploring the industries and opportunities that align with the future I want to build. I’m driven, adaptable, and someone who connects easily with people. I care about how I show up and the energy I bring into every space.

I’m most interested in spaces that bring together connection, growth, and a sense of purpose. That’s the kind of work and world I see myself building in.

Movement has shaped me in more ways than I can explain. Ever since I was young, it has been one of the biggest ways I stay balanced, grounded, and connected to myself. Running in particular has challenged me mentally, strengthened my discipline, and taught me how to keep going even when things feel hard. Having completed three half marathons, I’ve seen firsthand how much growth comes from pushing yourself mentally and watching that strength show up physically. One day, I hope to run a full marathon, but what I value most is the mindset running gave me and the strength it built far beyond the miles.

In a time where wellness has become such a major focus, I think there is an even deeper conversation worth having. Yes, people are more focused than ever on health, longevity, and performance — but are we taking the time to reflect inwardly too? Are we truly growing, or are we just trying to optimize the outside while carrying the same old patterns within? That question matters to me. Real wellness, to me, is not just physical. It is about inner growth, self-awareness, and becoming stronger from the inside out.

Having my friends and family around me has taught me what balance really looks like. In a world that moves so quickly, they remind me to slow down, stay present, and enjoy where I am instead of always rushing to what’s next. They’re the ones who bring perspective, push me to keep evolving, and remind me that success feels a lot better when you’re surrounded by the right people.

I have always been drawn to the mountains, ever since I was young. I even wrote my college essay about them. In many ways, I believe life is like the mountains — full of ups and downs, always changing, yet always moving forward.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to value how important it is to stay grounded in a world that rarely slows down. We are constantly pulled into our phones, our routines, and the noise around us, and we forget to look up and be present in where we are. Over the last year, spending time in Aspen and Utah gave me a level of clarity I didn’t realize I needed. It helped me reconnect with myself, think more clearly about who I am, and become more intentional about who I want to be.

The mountains continue to remind me to slow down, ground myself, and listen more closely to what my mind and body need. That feeling of clarity, presence, and inner steadiness is something I carry with me long after I leave.

Judaism has deeply influenced the way I see life and purpose. It’s taught me to trust that everything happens for a reason, even when the path feels uncertain. My faith reminds me that every challenge carries meaning, and that each experience, good or bad, is guiding me toward who I’m meant to become.
