- Elizabeth Goodwin Welborn - 

 Founder and Creative Director of Stick & Ball, Elizabeth Goodwin Welborn lives the authentic, daily life of her equestrian, country polo-inspired brand. A San Francisco Bay Area resident, Elizabeth is a designer, polo player, mom, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Elizabeth’s brand, Stick & Ball, was founded in the fall of 2011 out of her passion for horses and fashion and an amalgam of her life experiences in the Deep South, the West Coast, Latin America, and her extensive travels throughout the world.Elizabeth became an active polo player in the rolling hills of Sonoma and Marin Counties where the cow pastures, dairy farms, old barns, wild turkeys, and horse paddocks in her own backyard reminded her so much of the South American landscape that she had come to love in her travels. Through this experience Elizabeth's vision for a global, polo-inspired brand was born. Ponchos, knitted berets, espadrilles, cowboys boots, Latin, country and bluegrass music, Argentine asados and BBQs and one of the most thrilling team sports in the world all combine to create an atmosphere of on-field and field-side living that is both convivial and inspiring.
