As a mom of three, I'm deeply passionate about building community and empowering women to thrive together. My journey began in 2009 when I started creating personalized stationery and children's products, which eventually led me to launch Sweet Mady's—an online shop and wholesale business.

In 2017, I co-founded AR Workshop Loudoun, a DIY studio and Retail Boutique, where I learned firsthand the power of community. Our studio became a space for moms to gather, create, and connect, and it was there I truly understood the importance of fostering a supportive environment for women.

Now, with 15 years of experience in creative business and community-building, I'm excited to channel my passion into supporting other women-owned businesses. The Handmade Collective is a place where women creators and shop owners can come together to collaborate, connect, and uplift one another. Because in this journey, you don't have to go it alone!
