MEET THE CREATORS

  • JADA SHIVERS

    2029 + Business Analytics

    My brand has evolved through making random items to having a particular design that makes it my own. I learned to put my more compassion into my work in order to make my projects stand out. People may have thought all crochet looks the same, but I have practiced perfecting a specific crochet work that identifies with me. I hope to share love and gratitude with my work throughout my business. Making a profit is a bonus, but the real work comes from making people joyful.
