Stamped With Sunshine was born from an unexpected moment of disconnection and a bit of creativity. When our close friend Cas was grounded for a month (Hi, Cas), digital communication was off the table. So, Cas and Mikaela turned to writing letters, essentially becoming each other's pen pals. Little did we know, the two of them would gain the anticipation to check the mail in hopes for a new letter. That’s when the idea hit us: what if we could give other people the same experience — a way to make real friendships, outside of social media and the internet. We created Stamped With Sunshine to share that feeling. Our names inspiration comes from Cas’s mom, Ms. Sunshine, because if she had never grounded Cas, this idea never would have come to life.Â
Nour is a rising junior who is passionate about making new connections. She loves all things biology and working with kids and hopes to become some type of doctor one day. She's usually crying over a movie or reading some sort of rom-com, when she's not playing personal chauffer (she's the only friend with a liscense and car).
Mikaela is a rising senior dedicated to building community with a purpose. She is extremely passionate about psychology and anything that involves creativity. She adores working with young minds through tutoring and teaching music. Besides sitting at her desk writing letters, you can find her learning a new waltz on the piano or junk-journaling at midnight. Â
