After a successful 20 year career in the software industry, Lisa Tanner left her corporate job to follow a dream. After days filled with impersonal text messages, conference calls and email communications, she wanted to create something that brought people together in a more personal, thoughtful way – in everyday situations. She was eager to expand the use of her creative talents and leverage her skills with computers and spreadsheets. Finally, she wanted the freedom and flexibility of owning her own business in order to spend more time with her young family after years of being on the road. The idea for Openers came to her in a dream – a dream that wouldn´t let her go. After over a year of creating hundreds of prototypes, testing her ideas on her children’s school community, family gatherings, and dinner parties, she has launched an innovative, unique line of novelty cards that is sure to Surprise and Delight™.
