Destany Finney
Destany Finney is a content creator, graphic designer and owner of Unique Boutique by Des. She is a Syracuse native and alumna of the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, where she studied Television, Radio & Film. While she has a colorful work history, her most memorable work to date was during her time in Los Angeles, where she worked on several television pilots and commercial sets. Destany attributes everything that she knows about independence to her mother, who instilled principles of self-confidence, responsibility and work ethic very early on in her life. These lessons have enabled Destany to continue to navigate her life with desire and determination to achieve success. Unique Boutique by Des started out as a passion project for Destany to have a creative and entrepreneurial outlet in her self-discovery search post grad. She knew that financial freedom for herself had to come from multiple streams of income, and limiting herself to her day job would only stifle that ambition. She drew from her long-standing love of makeup and false lashes to create an online store selling luxury mink strip lashes at an affordable price.
