Whether it was something for my home or just experimenting with new ideas, I’ve always been drawn to making things myself—especially when it comes to creating a space that feels cozy and lived in.

And I’ve always been someone who cares about what goes into my home.

That really started to grow in college, when I became more interested in sustainability and “crunchy” living—paying attention to ingredients, materials, and the things we often overlook.

But after becoming a mom, that awareness shifted into something deeper.

I started thinking more intentionally about what I was bringing into our home—especially the everyday things like candles, cleaning products, and skincare. The more I looked into it, the more I realized how many of these products contain ingredients that are considered “normal,” but don’t necessarily feel good or safe long-term.

Between that and navigating my own health—especially with endometriosis—I found myself becoming even more mindful of things that could trigger flare-ups or add unnecessary stress to my body.

So instead of constantly searching for something that felt right, I started creating it myself.

What began as a personal shift—wanting a home that felt clean, safe, and comforting—slowly turned into Thread & Crumb.
