Owner & Founder
I'm a proud mother to my beautiful daughter Kathy, and a devoted grandmother to two precious girls, Jhené (5) and Eila (3), who fill my heart with joy every day. After dedicating 30 years to the corporate world, I took a leap of faith and started a business alongside Kathy—something close to both our hearts. Inspired by my granddaughters, this venture is fueled by love, creativity, and purpose.
I’ve been happily married to my wonderful husband, Barry, for 35 years, and our journey together has been one of love, faith, and family. We are Christians, and we draw our strength, guidance, and gratitude from our Lord Almighty, who continues to bless every step we take.
