Abby Walker is the CEO of Vivian Lou. Her love for shoes began when she was living in Chicago, two years out of college, insecure about her professional credentials and low on cash. Abby worked with women who had gorgeous hair, gorgeous bags, gorgeous clothes and gorgeous jewelry. To say she felt inept is an understatement.

She struggled to find her niche in a world of confident, accomplished, beautiful women. Then she found an amazing pair of black and white polka-dotted heels. They were affordable, yet distinct, and set her apart from others in the office. She was instantly hooked on heels.

Abby's love for shoes blossomed, and she continued to push the edge as to what she could (or should) wear to work while pursuing a growing communications career. The more distinct the shoe, the greater her courage— at work and in her personal life.

After 15 years in Corporate America and many pairs of high heels later, Abby finally found the courage to start her own business. See, she believes the right pair of shoes can change your perspective on everything! And she is honored to offer a line of products that help women focus more on their dreams and less on their feet.
