Meet Board & Brush Downers Grove Owners
Julie & Curt Selby
Julie & Curt Selby are the founders and owners of the B&b franchise! What started as Julie’s idea for a Girl’s Night Out in March of 2015, turned into a rapidly growing franchise business worthy of pulling Curt away from a 25 year plus corporate HR career in late 2015. The high school sweethearts from Fort Wayne, Indiana are weekend warriors when it come to DIY projects, remodeling five homes and a lake cottage in addition to countless other DIY projects. They have three beautiful daughters and reside in Wisconsin. Their favorite part of Board & Brush is seeing everyone’s smiling faces at the end of a workshop!
Massiel Ullsmith
Massiel, the studio manager for our corporate location in Downers Grove, has a background in marketing, project management and nursing. She is also the owner of a designer home goods business called That Girl Design. Board & Brush was a great opportunity for her to be involved in a fun and creative business. She has been married to her high school sweetheart for almost 15 years and have three daughters and one lazy dog!
