Here's Where

it All

began.

I have always had a love of dolls and as I grew up, the adoration grew as well. Dolls were my go-to as a child growing up with severe asthma. Pets and furry stuffed animals were off limits for me.

Like most girls, I grew up playing with Barbie but my knowledge on different types of dolls expanded over time. I've collected plush toys, toy line fashion dolls, resin ball jointed dolls and more but my heart has always been drawn to the beauty and craftsmanship of reborn dolls.

I discovered reborn dolls in 2009 as a newly graduated high-schooler with a part-time job. I remember searching online for a gently used American Girl doll, my dream doll at the time, when I came across reborn dolls. I was so captivated by the realism and the process in creating them. The rest is history! I decided to share what I'd learned about the Reborn Doll hobby in 2015. I never imagined my YouTube channel to grow as it has, and to meet so many kind and unique people who enjoyed these dolls just as I have.

I've had the opportunity of being a promoter for a couple of talented reborn doll artists, the most recent partnership being Pumpkin Doodle Babies by Kory Fann, beginning in 2022. It has been such a fun experience to use my social media platform to help spread the word about talented artists' work, and in turn, being compensated in dolls! In 2024 the promoter program with PDS came to a close. It was a pleasure working with such an amazing artist!

October 2024 marks my start in learning the craft of reborn doll painting using the air dry painted method! When I am not bringing dolls to life for friends and commission clients, I sell my creations on Reborns.com Currently, I am preparing for my vendor debut at the upcoming 2026 Dallas Fort-Worth Doll Show in Irving, TX.
