What is your company's origin story?

My journey into natural + mindful wellness started from a long battle with skin problems, including cystic acne. Instead of treating the problem with medication + harsh chemicals, I listened to my intuition + started researching + testing natural ingredients.

In 2013, I created an oil-based facial serum treatment which transformed my skin beyond my wildest imagination + after that, the rest is history.

What is one of your favorite projects you've ever worked on?

I have to say last years {un}convention was amazing. Not only was I able to be part of it as a workshop facilitator (everyone got to make a custom Face Serum), but I was able to connect with so many amazing people who are leading the way to make the wedding industry more mindful, what it should be.

How are you a "wedding space disrupter”?

Gifts for wedding parties or welcome bags doesn't have feel impersonal + influenced by your Pinterest feed. I suppose I disrupt the wedding industry by creating handcrafted goods + custom products that convey the couple or the energy of their wedding experience. I've created everything from massage oils + hangover-relieving serums to custom labeled insect repellent for each guest table. I love everything I do + create, I hope for that same joyful energy to be felt when using a Maven Made product. This is also why I use ethically-sourced materials + I don't make products or answer emails when I'm feeling "off" - energy transference is a real thing, the state of mind when making or thinking through something is incredibly important to the outcome.

What three ingredients are necessary for a great day at Maven Made?

Burning palo santo in the studio, streaming Spotify + connecting in some way with a customer.

What are some traits of your ideal client?

Most of my customers understand the importance of using mindful + handcrafted products. Most also understand the importance of self care + establishing rituals to nurture the body + mind. However, I have several customers that want to become more aware of this kind of thinking, not all to the same degree but they're open to it.
