Cynthia Huie

Cynthia Huie founded Seedstore, a beloved men’s and women’s clothing shop in the City’s vibrant Inner Richmond neighborhood, with her sister Jennifer. The shop curated a well-balanced assortment of established lines with new independent designers, often giving a platform and space for emerging new brands, makers, and artists.

She also actively manages her husband, Dr. Michael Chan’s oral surgery practice which was established by his father in 1979. Cynthia is well versed in healthcare/dental practice management and continues to volunteer her time for international dental missions as well as free clinics domestically. She loves working in family businesses and finds joy in learning about different industries and sectors.

For 8 years, she also served as President of the Clement Street Merchants Association. Under her leadership and working in collaboration with then-Supervisor Eric Mar, she brought in District 1’s first parklet, a thriving Farmers Market, and a beautiful mural by local artist Jason Jagel. With her knowledge of healthcare and understanding of the City’s Richmond District community, she was asked in 2014 to join the Board.
