Empowering the Future of Maed by Mini

Maed by Mini has evolved significantly over the years, transitioning from a small batch business into a popular name in jewerly design and floral preservation. Initially focused on creating unique polymer clay and resin jewelry,  the brand quickly identified a niche in preserving the beauty of flowers. This dedication to craftsmanship and intention has allowed Maed by Mini to cultivate strong relationships with customers who appreciate the sentiment behind preserved blooms. With a commitment to quality and artistry, the business continues to flourish in this specialized field.

As the demand for preserved floral pieces has grown, I am now seeking funding to finalize a designated workspace that ensures a safer and more efficient environment for my operations. This would require finishing an attic space which would need drywall, heat, ventalation, flooring, workbeches, and shelving. Expanding this workspace will not only enhance productivity but will also provide an opportunity for growth by potentially hiring my partner. This collaboration is aimed at increasing our output while allowing us to support our family together. The new space will serve as a foundation for us to scale the business, empowering us to meet customer needs while reinvesting in our craft.

Looking ahead, I envision Maed by Mini as a source of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs within our community. My goal is to host free workshops that align with the themes of my upcoming book, creating opportunities for personal development and skill-building within the community.  The hope is to encourage others to take the leap into their own business ventures. Additionally, I aspire to establish a scholarship for high school students who wish to study abroad, much like I did, as that experience profoundly impacted my life. 

All that to say, thank you kindly for your support in me as a mother, artist, and entrepreneur. Your encouragement has been invaluable on this journey. You've lifted me up during challenges and celebrated my successes with me. Your belief in my dreams has played a crucial role in making them a reality. I am deeply grateful for your presence in my life and the unwavering support you've offered along the way. Thank you for helping to make my dream come true.

Always, 

Lauren
