Donna Potter is a fierce advocate for sound design and boundless living. She grew up in suburban New Jersey. Her father encouraged building a secure footing in life while her mother focused on channeling creative and universal energy from wherever she could find it---a perfect recipe for a solid thinking wild child. This infused personality served Donna well in her early career as an advertising executive in telecommunications. After leaving her job to care for her four children, Donna began redesigning her own homes with unique furnishings and decor that were not just solidly functional but full of movement, energy and light. It was when Donna brought two puppies home that she discovered the limiting design of virtually every pet gate in the retail market. Vertical bars and mesh barricades communicating, Go no further were too confining. She imagined a light-infused boundary that was both dependable and filled with unlimited design potential. Donna first introduced the concept of a gate with interchangeable art screens at the 2009 Dallas Market Centers The Next Best Thing competition under the name Freedom Gates. Freedom Gates won the $10,000 First Prize. It took Donna four years to secure the patent and to find the perfect engineer who could bring the highest level of creativity and integrity into building what is now aptly named The Fusion Gate. Donna is currently focused on infusing style and imagination into other life stage necessities for the pet market, baby market and senior market.
