Nancy Daniele Berman is an entrepreneur with an expansive background in marketing, philanthropy, and most recently hospitality as the founder of artisanal cakery, Nancy’s Fancy Schmancy Cakes.  As both a small business owner and mother, Nancy thoroughly believes in giving back and supporting her community through volunteer work for various non-profits in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan. She was recently appointed by the President of the United States as Commission Member, U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.

After decades of work dedicated to helping others, she decided to make a bold move for herself and enter into the fashion industry, a place where her love of both business and creativity thrive.

The spark of inspiration for NANDANIE originated through Nancy’s son’s closet, when she realized the gap the industry has for neck ties designed specifically for women.  For Nancy, a tie represents more than just a fashion accent, it represents social equality and confidence.  Inspired by her children daily, Nancy strives to broaden this viewpoint within the fashion industry.

And just like that, the tie re-imagined became the ingenuity behind the launch of NANDANIE, a luxury tie brand whose mission is to inspire confidence, build community, and embrace equality.  As the founder, CEO, and Creative Director of NANDANIE, Nancy artfully crafts collections of ties in the heart of New York City that are designed for women and worn by everyone.  NANDANIE represents innovation in women’s accessories by pioneering a novel approach to women’s ties, disrupting a traditionally male dominated fashion category.

Be a Changemaker.
