Product Manager & Creative Lead

Moving to a new school as a preteen led to experimental drug use. Over-prescription of pain killers after a car accident led to a heroin addiction. Now, Amanda is a mom, a leader, and a talented custom handbag designer!

Thank you for being part of my journey!

Lead Designer & Seamstress

Nearly an entire lifetime of trauma led Lois into despair. Drinking alcohol was easier than trying to believe she had any value. Today, she's a dynamite designer and genius kit maker!

I love what I do... and I'm so glad you love it too!

Business Architect & Operations Lead

After experiencing early trauma, Maria struggled with major depressive disorder and anxiety. When she was introduced to alcohol in her teens, she thought it was the only way to cope. But now, she's a sober and thriving single mom who photographs our stunning products and is a technical mastermind.

I have purpose again, thank you for making a difference for me and women like me.
