<strong>Hip</strong> <strong>Chics</strong> <strong>Boutique</strong><br />
<strong>Three</strong> <strong>Generations</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Entrepreneurial</strong> <strong>Women</strong><br />
By Carolyn S. Peterson<br />
Never underestimate the power <strong>of</strong> brainstorming women!<br />
A leisurely road trip to the North Carolina mountains in<br />
January 2007 for a scrapbooking weekend with friends<br />
sounds pretty harmless, but for Kristina Kapp Prysiazniuk,<br />
owner and president <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hip</strong> <strong>Chics</strong> <strong>Boutique</strong>, by the end <strong>of</strong><br />
her trip, she had the beginning <strong>of</strong> her own business.<br />
Parents’ Example<br />
“I grew up in the Clemmons area with two parents who owned their own<br />
businesses. My mother, Faye Kapp, was an interior decorator with a retail shop,<br />
Accessory Decorating, and my father, Jerry Kapp, was a mortgage broker and<br />
owner <strong>of</strong> Kapp & Associates. They had a certain spirit, a love <strong>of</strong> owning their own<br />
businesses, and I think that spirit was passed on in the genes,” said Prysiazniuk.<br />
