It's been such a crazy journey so far and I am so grateful if you're here reading this and if you've supported me in anyway, it truly means the world 💫 

I dreamt of this little business when I was pregnant in 2021 and brought it to life by the time he was 6 months old in 2022. As difficult as it was, everything felt just right, not rushed or under pressure, I just wanted to make cute mugs when my little boy slept and play with him when he was awake and that's exactly what I did. 

Until it started GROWING ⭐️ I could never had imagined the amount of love my mugs received and by the end of 2023 we had made mugs for Molly Mae, I'd moved out of kitchen and into an actual studio and employed some staff to help me manage the work load. I had already won the small business lottery in my mind. 

But I could never have anticipated what 2024 was going to bring and we became incredibly busy with over 900 outstanding orders most of the time, completely selling out within minutes, employing a team of 10 and renting another studio. It started becoming serious and I had to find my big girl pants. We had such amazing opportunities, we worked with JD Sports, Space NK, Hairburst, REFY, Astrid & Miyu and Rimmel London. We create some amazing mugs for Stacey Solomon, Mrs Hinch, Nara Smith and so many inspirational women that have support naetive. 

Here comes 2025 and we've finally launched our Clay Dates working with Stripe and Stare and putting together and amazing paint your own session with Emily English and her friends. Our Paint Your Own Boxes were launched and have been so loved, it's been so nice to see your visions coming to life and we're so excited to bring more to you and your creativity. 

Now that we're in our 3rd year, I'm really starting to see what naetive is meant to be and I couldn’t be happier with how much we have learnt along the way. We're still just on the cusp of our journey compared to most small businesses and I can't wait to share it all with you. 

Thank you so much for being here, for supporting this business and for spending our birthday with us. It truly means everything!
