Keeper of the rainbow

250K+

Lisa Frank fans, one happy place

I help moderate the largest Lisa Frank fan group on Facebook. That's over a quarter of a million people sharing finds, swapping stories, and keeping the rainbow leopards alive. Keeping it kind, colorful, and scam-free is a labor of love.

The Eye

I can spot the real deal from across a flea market. Antiques, toys, and the one perfect sticker sheet in a box of fifty.

The Maker

Pretty isn't enough. It has to work, too. I sweat the colors, the proportions, and the tiny details most people never notice.

Never hands it off

The Fixer

Broken equipment, a stubborn website, a brand-new skill: I'd rather figure it out than wait for someone else to.

Curiosity: maxed out

The Seeker

I go from shop logistics to ancient history in one conversation, and I always want to know the why behind the what.
