Between 1st And 4th grade that’s when my creativity Started flowing. I was always making something. I kept getting compliments and people wanting To buy things. My grandmother (mom) bought Me my first sewing machine for my 8th bday. History in the making. So I decided last summer 2020 to expand my business to everyone. Which Is where I am today.
