I started crocheting during college as a way to cope through stress. Once I graduated from college, I decided to start this business as a way to express my creativity and share my work in the city I grew up in. I love making new things daily! My fav is poke themed pieces and things that are part of the theme of the market. I'm now exploring making non-amigurumi things! I'm proud of all my work. I am proud to be a Memphian. I hope to become a PA one day and treat my community one day. (If you're curious, I'm interested in ortho or the emergency department.) Nothing will get in the way of me crocheting while having a full-time job, hehe. Science will always be in my heart. Fun fact, I am super obsessed with black cats, and I hope to get ten of them (jk!)
