The Real Me Creates is more than a brand—it’s a reflection of a journey back to self.

After 30 years in the fast-paced world of real estate and title work, I felt a quiet pull to slow down and rediscover what truly brought me joy. Life had been full—raising a family with my husband, Shane, building a career—but somewhere along the way, I realized I hadn’t created something just for me.

So I began again.

What started as simple curiosity turned into a deep love for creating. I explored everything I could get my hands on—quilting, sewing, painting, refinishing furniture, and giving new life to forgotten pieces. Then one small decision changed everything: I bought my first Cricut. That single step opened a world of possibility I hadn’t even imagined.

As I learned and experimented, I discovered the art of sublimation—and instantly fell in love. There’s something incredibly meaningful about transforming an everyday item into something personal, something that tells a story.

Today, every piece I create—whether it’s a custom tumbler, a photo keepsake, or a small personalized detail—is made with intention and heart. I don’t just make products; I create moments, memories, and connections you can hold in your hands.

The Real Me Creates is built on the belief that it’s never too late to rediscover yourself, to follow your creativity, and to turn something you love into something that brings joy to others.

When you support The Real Me Creates, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re becoming part of a story rooted in passion, authenticity, and the beauty of creating something truly personal.
