meet the nomads
Deborah Robayo
Store Manager: Deborah was born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, but fell in love with the White Mountains after college. She is a member of the Jackson Women Writers Group and hopes to one day publish a novel that her family and friends will be forced to buy. She loves cozy fires, big dogs, easy hikes, splashing her feet in the stream, small dogs, quiet nights with her husband, new books, old books, medium dogs, star-gazing, video games, and dogs.
Krystyna Laramie
Cake Artist, Wedding Assistant: I’m a mount washington valley native, and although once planned to move away, couldn’t bring myself to do it. I have two cats, and will someday have a dog too. When I’m not baking, I love painting. In college I minored in art with a focus in painting, which is why I am SO HAPPY to get to do it every week here at Autumn Nomad. I am always so excited to get to paint something for someone and bring their cake dreams into reality. I am obsessed with all things art and food, and feel that I was made to be in this specific industry. I originally took this job as a little part time side thing so I could learn how to decorate cakes but Autumn Nomad is so much fun, I don’t want to be anywhere else.
Anne Nealon
Barista Manager: Anne is a lifelong resident of the Mount Washington Valley. She enjoys short walks in the woods, spending time with her six cats, family and the dragon, a good bottle of wine and has a healthy appreciation of all things Twilight related.
