Born in 1985 and grew up in South Florida with an Fine arts background. I’m a nature nerd and live out in the woods with my dog, cat and chickens! Still a huge kid at heart who collects toys and watched Disney Classics 🙂

I was born in 1985 and grew up in Palm Beach County, Florida. My parents were antique dealers and a passion of mine was art so my childhood was full of artistic nurturing and appreciation. A simpler time of pre-internet days filled with neighborhood bike riding and tree climbing, tangible toys and of course Nickelodeon and Disney which were huge influences on me… I have always loved and needed to create and fabricate, and have spent my life making things of all sorts. I am a hyper sensitive person who thrives in Nature and recently moved away from a city to live in the Country so I could create and heal in peace:)

Tell us about your shop

To be honest this shop has a very organic origin! A few years ago I dove HEAVY into my inner child healing journey. … I have always explored childhood themes in my art, and dabbled in jewelry business side hustles. I am very ocd particular about the jewelry I like to wear, aesthetically and how they feel when on.(I like things that don’t feel like they are there!) So one day after creating a few pieces for myself with some of my favorite childhood characters, and them coming out way cuter than I had expected, I decided to open a shop, this was back in OCT 2022 which had an incredible response, and the rest is history -here we are! I wanted to create a more delicate sophisticated line of cartoon jewelry and accessories that would help create a space of healing and remembrance to our favorite childhood cartoons and characters.. I am huge into ODES. I can literally create any custom, sky is the limit! I am also doing custom pet portraits now, and can do people as well:)

Why did you choose nostalgia?

I am huge kid at heart! I have always still watched cartoons and collected stuffed animals, and I wanted to share these healing tools! We are living in such a digital age, I think tangibility is so important. .. and these characters played such a huge role in our childhoods.. so why not pay homage to them thus paying homage to the little you! I am all about treating my inner child, SPOILING HER <3 I’m not a physcologist, haha, But I felt like ” hey if I was holding this care bear stuffed animal when I was 4 and some unintentional comment was made that created the inner belief that I wasn’t good enough, then why not hold this same exact care bear when I reprogram my brain that I AM good enough.” These shows we watched were so much more than shows, they are memories of places and people, times past. I think they hold a great significance and wanted to create tiny time capsule relics you can carry with you anywhere.

Favorite childhood memory?

Oh man such a hard one! I grew up with 2 sisters who lived a few houses down from me on my street who were my besties( still are) , we literally just bike rode around our neighborhood, playing with neighbors dogs and climbing trees, drawing, playing games,swimming in the pool, sleepovers and all these things ALWAYS INVOLVED time in front of the tv with a movie from Blockbuster or the Disney channel or Nickelodeon. We were always watching stuff in between all that and just a day filled with all PRE-INTERNET activities were literally the best. I have literally thee fondest memories of my childhood and feel so blessed I got to grow up like that!

What does healing your inner child mean to you?

LITERALLY EVERYTHING. I feel like it helps us understand our true self and thus we can live authentically and with our greatest and highest purpose. ” what do I like? vs what I was taught to like ?” We are not born blank slates! We have inherited 100’s of years of our ancestors’ emotions and traumas. Think about it, some dude walking around in the medieval times did something that still affects you now! It’s so wild to me! By breaking down our conditioning we are able to decide what works for us and what does not, what WE believe our truths are , not what we were told. I am so happy we are living in a time where this is even a concept and people have awareness. I fully believe thee absolute best gift we can ever gives ourselves in the healing and growth journey <3
