Growing up, I remember helping my mom with crafts all the time. Whether it was folding paper cranes, putting a party invitation together, or making lei. I have such an admiration for my mom, she’s the go-to for everything craft, sewing, and party-related. Organizing, putting in the work, and sweating all the details—I got that all from my mama.

My Nana (grandma) made her own curtains, refurbished furniture, and painted her walls. I loved how she carefully and thoughtfully made her house a home. And, I found out that my ancestors sold jewelry in the Philippines. I knew my obsession came from somewhere! 

My dad helped me with my school art projects. We even won a recycled materials ornament contest and got on the local news. Our Santa’s Workshop was made from tile scraps and cardboard.

In their own ways, they’ve all inspired me and built the foundation for my creativity.

I'm forever on a quest to make things both beautiful and captivating. If I’m not working on a design project, you'll typically find me lettering for a greeting card, meticulously piecing together a vision board, orchestrating a themed party, or plotting my Halloween costume for the following year. No matter the project, creating fills my heart.

The birth of my son marked a profound turning point in my life. I made the bold decision to leave behind my 9-5 job and embrace the role of a dedicated stay-at-home mom. Fortified by the unwavering support of my amazing husband, who encouraged me to chase my design dreams, I embarked on this new chapter in my life.

And here I am, proudly embracing my passion for design and creativity!
