Crafting has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I loved getting craft kits as presents and my mom, who designed and sewed her own wedding dress, never turns down a trip to our “favorite store”, Michael’s. I started making earrings in 2nd grade when I learned to make them for our economic store and never stopped. The materials and designs have evolved, but I still love to make them. I’ve painted here and there throughout my life, but I started exploring more designs and materials in 2020. My mom taught me to sew when I was in middle school. I explored it more with my home economics classes and apparel classes in high school. There have been multiple times when I imagined something, whether a dress or just a simple bag, and I became determined to mind materials and a pattern and make it myself. Being creative has always been an outlet for me, so I decided to start Ladybug Designs Co in October 2020 to share my creativity with others.

I decided on the name Ladybug Designs as my nickname from my parents growing up was Katiebug Ladybug.
