Meet the Maker
A Journey of Creativity, Innovation, and Purpose
The love for crafting imaginative, practical, and enduring handmade goods began in the 1970s, sparked by a T-shirt painting party with my mother at a neighbor’s home. That moment ignited a lifelong passion, leading me to explore and master crocheting, sewing, embroidery, painting, paper making, resin art, digital design, and 3D modeling and printing—each skill a reflection of my dedication to craftsmanship.
After retiring from a corporate IT career as a Technology Product Manager for a leading financial firm, I took that same attention to detail, problem-solving mindset, and commitment to excellence and channeled it into my handmade creations. My background in technology instilled in me an appreciation for precision, quality control, and strategic development—values that now shape every soap, ensuring consistency, reliability, and ethically made products.
Woman-Owned, Ethically Led
Being woman-owned means more than leadership—it reflects a deep commitment to integrity, sustainability, and customer care. As a creator, I prioritize thoughtful craftsmanship, eco-conscious materials, and ethical business practices that align with my values. I believe in building a business that is not only creative and innovative but also serves a greater purpose—supporting community, environmental responsibility, and conscious consumerism.
Crafted with Sustainability in Mind
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, I finally embraced Cold Process Soap making, a craft I had long admired but hesitated to try. At a time when cleanliness was paramount, the ability to create consumable, earth-friendly soap became deeply meaningful.
My ingredients and packaging are always selected with environmental impact in mind. Even the glitter used in my designs is either compostable or biodegradable, ensuring alignment with my eco-friendly values. All of my soaps are vegan and cruelty-free, embracing both artistry and ethical responsibility.
Every handcrafted piece represents dedication, creativity, and care—a lifelong commitment to bringing unique, sustainable products to those who appreciate craftsmanship with purpose.

How it’s Made
Crafting the "Dolphin Sunrise" soap is a labor of love and ingenuity, combining artisanal craftsmanship with innovative design techniques that truly set it apart from mass-manufactured alternatives.
Materials Used: This luxurious soap is made with high-quality ingredients, including olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil, which provide gentle cleansing. Water and sodium hydroxide (lye) are used in the soap-making process, while fragrance oil infuses the bar with the refreshing "Ocean Mist" scent. Additional ingredients include sodium lactate for hardness, titanium dioxide for a creamy base, and vibrant mica pigments for color. Importantly, the soap is vegan, palm-free, phthalate-free, detergent-free, paraben-free, and SLS-free, ensuring it aligns with eco-conscious values.
The Creation Process:
Creating the Embeds: The embeds in this soap are created using a melt and pour base in a silicone column mold.
Final Soap Production: The main soap batch is prepared by blending lye, water, oils, pigments, and fragrance oil. The embeds are placed into the soap batter, and the loaves are poured and cured for a minimum of 8 weeks to create the finished product.
The result is a stunning soap bar that combines artistic skill, attention to detail, and sustainable practices, making it a true masterpiece in the world of handmade soaps.
