Gillian’s journey began with a search for a clean, fiber-rich, and satisfying snack to fuel her for an upcoming fitness competition. After failing to find what she was looking for, she took matters into her own hands and developed a process that revolutionizes western world baking & honors ancestral-rich wisdom to create an everyday protein-packed treat.

At FLEURENZ, we're committed to making high-quality, long-lasting jewelry accessible to everyone. As the CEO and Founder, I'm proud to offer an affordable alternative to traditional jewelry retailers, without sacrificing on quality or style. My name is Fleurenz Villar, and as a young Filipina immigrant living in New York City, I'm excited to have the opportunity to pursue my passion and build a business that reflects my values. With FLEURENZ, I'm committed to empowering individuals to express their unique style, without breaking the bank. Our jewelry pieces are designed to last, with durable materials and timeless designs that can be worn for years to come. I believe that everyone deserves to look and feel their best, and at FLEURENZ, we're making that possible for all.

I am an architect/interior designer located in NYC, and I have a deep interest in how design influences our daily lives. I've channeled this passion into creating a shop called Kuma Ojisan. The name, which translates to Uncle Bear in Japanese, embodies the cute yet functional essence of our merchandise, which includes bags, hats, phone cases, and more. We are dedicated to maintaining our fundamental principles of quality, skill, and distinctive design as we expand and develop. We are excited to share our enthusiasm with purchasers for a long time to come.

Smart Moms Organics was founded by two friends who’d gone through pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood together. While breastfeeding, and later during the transition to solids, they realized just how incredibly significant nutrition is in the first three years of a child’s development. They shared their experiences with other new mothers and learned about their experiences and their needs. Then, after thorough research into baby food regulations, Smart Moms Organics was born. Its science-based commitment to healthier and happier future generations quickly attracted attention and gained popularity across social media.

Our story unfolded through the simple act of sharing homemade bread with our neighbors. This serendipitous encounter unveiled a world of talented local bakers, inspiring us to empower small food creators to thrive by providing services and spaces that can be shared as a resource. "Poom-Ah-Shi" — sharing talent, labor, and goods as a community in Korea — is the concept that drives our venture forward.
