Management
Robin Bugge, Co Founder
Born in Central Oregon, but arriving to Louisiana via Kentucky and Texas, Robin seeks out ways to improve the world around here. She worked in hospitality management for fifteen years, and natural foods retail for five. While acquiring her degree in hospitality and tourism management, her focus was on institutional food systems. During her research of prisons and schools, she decided that wherever life took her, she would do her part to reduce food insecurity. About six months into the pandemic, Robin and Dora had a conversation about how they wanted to do more, do BETTER for their communities, while also building a profitable future. The business is growing rapidly, and community interest is high.
Dora Poitevint, Co Founder
A life long West Texan until her recent move to Lafayette, Louisiana, Dora made a career out of retail management for 15 years. In her spare time, she also had a side business, Mama Dee's, where she designed and manufactured children's clothes and costumes. Like Robin, the pandemic made Dora reflect on what's most important for her and her son, Calder. Utilizing her years in HR, marketing, and her tremendous artistic talent, she's helped create a Conjure Collective that connects on a human level. Between this and her business acumen, she and Robin form a solid partnership.
