McKenzie L. Wasik
CEO & Owner/Primary Artist
Peace & Love Everyone!! My name is McKenzie Wasik & I am the CEO/Owner & Primary Artist of Gaggy's Essence. I am a woman-owned & family-run business. The inspiration behind my boutique comes from a one-of-a-kind woman, my late grandmother who my family & I called, Gaggy. She was more than a grandma to me, she was my best friend, my number one supporter, my hero, & the one person in the world I could tell absolutely anything to & she would never judge me. I hope you get to experience Gaggy's essence in my store and get a glimpse of the hippie grandma we all know and love! <3
