Calla Aniski Boyd, a Ship Bottom native turned mainlander, is a multitalented maker of practical and wondrous things, as well as a creative business support professional.

Boyd’s two businesses are Perchal Fibers and Perchal Media; she chose the name Perchal for its neutrality and uniqueness so as not to be confused with other business names.

The “Fibers” part, she explained, is a nod to one of her favorite places.

“My parents used to take us on road trips, and one of the places that always stuck with me was New Shoreham, Rhode Island (Block Island).
