Who We Are
At Laughing Gull Chocolates we craft high-quality chocolates made locally with transparently sourced ingredients.
Our experiences create curiosity about the complexities of chocolate and inspire connection to every hand in the farm to bar process.
The woman with the vision, Lindsay started Laughing Gull Chocolates in Rhode Island in 2014. Led by a desire to change the world with chocolate, Lindsay has taken chocolate confections to a new level. She leads her workshops with knowledge and experience from visiting various cacao farms and a drive for finding a sustainable way to bring this commodity to our community. Her palette for flavors is unmatched and her passion for our mission has only been topped by her love of her daughter and family.
It was Karla’s business acumen, love of community – and some serendipity – that led her to join Laughing Gull Chocolates. Before they knew it, Karla and Dylan had become a part of the Laughing Gull village, and Karla’s values and professional experience made her an invaluable team member. Her past managerial experience combined with her determination and passion for small women-owned businesses helped bring our ideals to life. Her values and resolve continue to advance the business forward, allowing for progress and more room to make the world a better place through chocolate.
Bringing a mind for numbers and a love of business, Allison has graced Laughing Gull Chocolates with her computing skills and charisma. After completing her MBA at the Simon School of Business, Allison held a variety of positions before finding her home at the chocolate shop. Driven by her desire to spend quality time with her daughter while continuing to grow professionally and make a difference in her community, she was a perfect fit. Her passion for creating and achieving the vision of a charitable, yet profitable, business has made her invaluable.
