My name is Gabriella Dabain, I’m from Detroit, Michigan, and I’m a Formulation Chemist in the R&D liquid skincare lab. I work with our sales team and customers to develop moisturizers, body washes, and many other kinds of personal care products.
I moved to Seattle, Washington to work for Making Cosmetics Inc., a raw material distributor and a formulation design lab. After two years, I wanted to pursue work at a larger company and gain more experience in large scale production, and with the help of recruiter, I found Twincraft and moved to Vermont.
I really enjoy the creative aspect of my job - working with customers to create a product that meets their needs and expectations requires a lot of problem solving and creativity. We also have an internal innovation team that works to create new products that are exciting and interesting and grasp the attention of our customers. I'm a science nerd but I love being able to play around with different ingredients, textures, and colors to build a marketing story around that's unique and inspiring to our customers. I have always had a hobby of reading reviews and browsing the market, especially when it comes to haircare for curly hair - I'm holding out hope that Twincraft will enter the curly haircare space soon, since I'd definitely save a lot of money!
