About
In 2019 my sister Maya was about to head to Denmark for a year with Rotary International Youth Exchange program.
One thing Rotary international students do is trade buttons with each other at conferences and meetings.
The buttons usually have the student's name and something to represent their home country. After a year abroad, a student often returns home with dozens and dozens of buttons representing the many young people they have met from all over the world. Maya decided to make her own buttons and asked me to help her. I discovered that I really like making buttons and I'm good at it too! Before long, I was making buttons for several other Rotary students. Through word of mouth, a couple of organizations in my town heard that I was making buttons and they ordered some as well.
And the rest is history!
Thanks Maya for being my first customer.
Thanks to my dad for coming up with the company name - it's pretty awesam!
A big thank you to my Uncle Frank and Aunt Kiki for working on my logo.
Thank you to everyone else who has helped support my business.
