Joanna graduated from Shorter University and then completed her masters degree in education at Mercer University. She has a background in communications and education. After starting a family, she worked in the nonprofit sector for ten years. During that period she gained extensive experience in event planning and implementation. She lives in Rome with her husband and two children. She and her mother started Bonifay in 2024 with a desire to bring distinctive gift creation for events to the Rome area. She is eager to partner with her clients to help them develop a beautifully designed gift.

LeeAnne graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in graphic design. After her children went to college she managed and merchandised a ladies boutique in Raleigh, NC. She then spent eleven years managing a cafe and retail store at a local college in Wake Forest, NC. There she gained further experience in purchasing and merchandising retail as well as food and beverage products. In 2021 she and her husband moved to Rome to be close to Joanna and her family. The “Bonifay” name means “doing good”. It is her maternal grandfather’s last name. LeeAnne enjoys the artistic side of custom gift design and the creative process of pulling it all together. She looks forward to creating good gifts for your occasion!
