For the love of origami!
My Story
My love affair with paper started early. I grew up scrapbooking and crafting, and somewhere along the way, traditional origami paper found its way into my heart too. During my college years and my time teaching, crafting took a back seat — though I did sneak origami into my classroom to help students with dexterity and listening skills. That's actually where my passion for it truly deepened.
When I made the decision to stay home and raise my children, I rediscovered that creative part of myself. I picked scrapbooking back up and started exploring more and more crafts. Then, around 2009, I stumbled onto Etsy. At first I just browsed and bought a few things — but slowly, a little thought started to take root: maybe I could sell my crafts here too.
I started small, with a few frames and origami kusudama flower balls, and gradually found my footing and my niche. What I do now is truly a labor of love. I pour so much joy into designing new mobiles, experimenting with fresh ideas, and playing with unexpected color combinations and papers.
But what I treasure most? Custom orders. Whether it's a mobile for a nursery, kusudama balls, boutonnieres, or a bridal bouquet, I love sitting down with customers, getting to know their vision, and creating something completely one-of-a-kind just for them. Every piece tells someone's story — and I get to help tell it.
