Hayden Dawkins

Los Angeles Sales

A Los Angeles native with a knack for creativity, Hayden’s professional journey began in the creative industries, where he worked as a production assistant at Pastilla Studios helping develop ads and photographing the works. He honed his edge in digital design by running the company blog and developing websites for clients. His skills eventually led him to San Francisco, where he thrived as a freelance web designer, building custom websites for small businesses and embracing the vibrant culture of the Bay Area.

Hayden’s love for craft beverages, initially sparked by a fascination with craft beer, evolved into a deep appreciation for wine. This passion flourished during his time at Paul Marcus Wines in Oakland, a boutique shop where he immersed himself in the world of fine wines, particularly those from Old World regions. While at Paul Marcus, Hayden not only contributed to the development of the shop’s digital online presence but also expanded his knowledge of wine and food.

In 2021, after the birth of his son, Hayden and his wife made the decision to return to their roots in Los Angeles, where he joined the distribution side of the wine industry. Here, he finds joy in sharing his love of wine with others, whether it’s discussing the nuanced characteristics of a particular varietal or helping discover new favorites.

Outside of work, Hayden can be found treasure hunting at estate sales and thrift stores, cycling along the foothills, or spending time outdoors with his family. He also enjoys cooking, hiking, and playing sports with his son. Whether he’s uncovering a unique vintage item or sharing a bottle of wine with friends over some homemade pizza, Hayden’s enthusiasm for life and the stories that come with it shines through in everything he does.
