Irene is the proud owner of Collected Works, and has brought her taste and expertise to the store for over 35 years. She features mainly American artistic designers, and happily outfits customers with exquisite, one-of-a-kind ensembles. Irene has moved with Collected Works throughout downtown Ann Arbor: first at Liberty Street, then to Main Street, and now the NEWEST incarnation of the store on Detroit Street! Reaching retirement age, Irene has over TRIPLED the size of her store and isn't slowing down any time soon. She enjoys family time with her husband Rich, children, and now grandchildren!
