My name is Lauren Kater, a recent PhD graduate who found a love of crafting and community through my own struggles with mental health and research. I was born and raised in the Phoenix-metro area and hope to call Arizona home for many decades to come. In 2025, I decided to start a business to share my passion with the world in a way that's sustainable for me and the environment. In the past, I have made a living making custom chocolate-covered strawberries, delivering pizza, dog/horse-sitting, and tutoring.
Now that I have finished school, I am looking forward to spending more time with family, at the post office, the park, the library, and the crafting at home with my cat and dog. ​I truly enjoy sharing the extra love that I have in my heart with loved ones and/or strangers.
Thank you for being a part of my world today. If it's a hard day for you, I'm sending you my love and energy to keep pushing forward. If it's a good day for you, pay it forward with a smile or support for a stranger or friend. I'm rooting for you all. ​
