1. What inspired you to start making jewelry and clothing? And how did your journey begin? A: Ever since I was young, I remember making hand made jewelry. After covid, I was thinking of ways I could combine my hobbies and turn them into additional income but also provide something to others.

2. How do you balance being a single mom and running a busi- ness? A: Being a single parent and run- ning a business while also work- ing full time 8-4 pm does have its pros and cons. How- ever , over time I got the hang of it by creating a strict schedule ( which typically never goes smoothly) but also remem- bering that its not the end of the world and just enjoy my time. I usually also have my daughter next to me when I make new jewelry pieces and she gives me her input a lot

3.Where do you draw inspira- tion from for your designs? A: As far as my inspirations , I tend to go for in the moment and what aligns with my business and what it stands for. My shirts all have custom messages on them that aligns with goals , dreams and aspirations. My jewelry varies and I make custom color pieces.
