I'm a creative entrepreneur, marketing leader, and the creator of Jartsy & Friends, a children's creative play brand that brings together storytelling, arts and crafts, and imaginative adventures.

Before building my career in marketing, I spent 15 years working as a nanny, getting a firsthand look at how children play, learn, and create. I've worked with hundreds of children and families, and those experiences have shaped how I think about developing products that kids genuinely love and parents appreciate.

I first brought Jartsy to life in 2014, when I was selected as a Top 50 finalist in the American Dream Seekers competition and ultimately placed eighth. I also handmade and sold my original products through boutique retailers, where they sold out faster than I could produce them!

As my professional career grew, I put Jartsy on the back burner, but I never stopped creating. Today, as a Head of Marketing, I've gained extensive experience in branding, product positioning, creative strategy, and bringing ideas to market.

Now I'm combining both worlds—my understanding of children and families with my experience building brands—to reintroduce Jartsy & Friends as a growing world of creative products, characters, and adventures.

I'm passionate about creating products that encourage imagination, inspire creativity, and make everyday moments a little more magical. I'm excited to connect with fellow inventors, toy industry professionals, and anyone who believes in the power of play!
