Since I can remember, I was always creating something—whether it was cupcake toppers or personalized gift tags for birthday presents. And, I didn’t ever just create one—I created hundreds and hundreds of them. I started selling them to family and friends; however, I wanted real customers and an online store. I wanted the world to know about my products. To support my drive, my parents purchased a laptop for me when I was nine years old. I designed my own website and set up the backend payment and inventory system. This was the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey.
