About

A little extra,
by nature.

I’m Nancy Abdalla, lead artist and owner of the studio.

Since childhood, I’ve been embellishing and personalizing—adding a detail here, a sparkle there, and putting things together in unexpected ways. I’ve always seen things for what they could be. To me, a personal detail can turn an everyday object into something you feel connected to—a reflection of your personality, your own kind of extra.

That creative flair led me to study fashion design, followed by a long career in corporate marketing. Now, I’m getting out from behind my laptop and bringing a lifelong passion turned craft directly to you.

Every project opens possibilities.

A portion of the proceeds from every project goes to organizations supporting women with essential resources and opportunities—helping them build greater independence, feel their best, and gain the freedom to shape their own lives.

Self-expression is a beautiful freedom. Every time you celebrate yours, you help open possibilities for someone else.
