Lori's mastery of the fast draw quickly brought her out of the shadow of her big sister – proving there's nothing average about this middle child. As the middle child, Lori was always the one who pushed the limits and teetered on the edge of rebellion. Before she was even old enough to drive, Lori created a line of spatter-painted tee shirts, shorts & sweat outfits that she sold to friends and numerous boutiques. Shortly after, a line of jewelry was developed & carried in stores in the Detroit area as well as specialty stores as far away as Hawaii. She graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in fashion design and soon after took a temporary job in the ad specialty/promotional product business while deciding what she really wanted to do with her life. Fortunately for the industry, her fate was sealed… this was her dream job. Her next move was to L.A. where Lori started her company with Kari. In a high rise condo overlooking the famous Hollywood hills, Caden Concepts was born. In the past five years they have been featured in numerous publications including: The Counselor's TOP 30 under 30, The Los Angeles Business Journal's Fastest Growing Privately Owned Companies in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Business Journal, Women Making a Difference and Advantages. In 2005, they were recruited to appear on ABC's television show “Boss Swap.”

The baby of the gang, Kari “the Kid” became a legend in her own time. There wasn’t a time in Kari’s life when she didn’t work. Even before she had her driver’s license, her parents drove her to her jobs. Kari was a successful dancer and Emcee in the Detroit area for eight years. After graduating from Michigan State University she decided to move to Los Angeles to follow her dreams of choreographing for TV and film. As a starving artist, the lure of success and financial freedom was enough to entice Kari to jump on board with her sister Lori and create Caden Concepts. As sisters, Lori and Kari built upon their strong relationship and knowledge of each other's strengths and weaknesses to form a cohesive operation, what they describe as, "each other's yin and yang". Caden Concepts, a recognized Fortune 5000 business in Los Angeles boasts clients from some of the world’s most notable brands. The beauty of Kari is the two very unique sides of her personality – one being the power businesswoman speaking on panels for her industry and the other a hip hop dancer at heart.
