Phyllis serbes, Esq.
Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships
Ms. Serbes attended Georgetown for her BA, Cornell for law school, and NYU for her LLM in Tax Law. Subsequently, she built a career as a successful tax attorney. But as she nears the end of that career, she is ready to launch into more creative endeavors.
In preparation and as a side gig, she founded “Many Creative Gifts," a company designed to help crafters be true to their giving nature that features digital crochet and knit patterns. Her designs have been featured in both the US and the UK crochet magazines and her blog participates every March in National Crochet Month.
As she began to explore how technology can enhance her creative process and offerings to her customers, she concluded that creatives and technologists can live in harmony. And that led to collaborating with Ms. Flick and Ms. Mansfield to create Pantheon, a venture very much aligned with her values.
