Kitspirations sprouted from the seeds of a single dream, a whimsical quest to infuse the mundane daily grind with a dash of delight and creativity. The heart of any business lies in sharing what ignites your passion, what you adore, and what you're eager to spread into the world. Jenny, our founder, embodies this ethos to her core. With a rich tapestry of roles under her belt—ranging from the front desk as a receptionist to the dynamic world of marketing as a product buyer, office manager, computer technician, customer service expert, cashier, and marketer—her journey weaves through the fabric of numerous industries, far beyond the contours of her primary career path.
As Jenny climbed the professional ladder, her path veered into the realm of digital marketing, where she honed her skills in email marketing, data management, and website design, navigating through the digital era where paper and pens seem like relics of a bygone era. Yet, amidst the relentless march of technology, Jenny's affection for the tangible charm of paper and pens remained undiminished. Her workspace, a testament to her enduring love, was always adorned with daily notebooks, an eclectic assortment of pens and pencils, and sticky notes that danced across her desk from one role to another.
Confronted with the glow of a computer screen day in and day out (a reality that persisted even as she led her marketing company), Jenny was struck by a profound desire to resurrect the magic of paper, pens, and unfettered creativity for others. Her mission was simple yet profound: to sow seeds of joy and creative spirit, one small but significant gesture at a time, every day.

Coloring Outside the Lines
Kitspirations blossomed from the vibrant imagination of Jenny, our founder, whose rich tapestry of experiences and innate creative spirit ignited the concept behind our company. Growing up under the golden California sun, Jenny charted her own course, gravitating towards crafts and the boundless realms of creativity over the conventional allure of dolls and tea parties. Now, with the wisdom of adulthood, she harbors a deep-seated desire to equip both the young and the young-at-heart with the tools to unlock their creative potential, pushing the boundaries of imagination far beyond what they ever thought possible.
🗒 Jenny's journey with paper began in the earliest chapters of her life, her tiny hands exploring the vibrant world of construction paper with wide-eyed wonder. In the halls of elementary school, a unique challenge was laid before the students: master the pencil before daring to wield a pen. Jenny, with a blend of determination and grace, swiftly became the first in her class to earn this rite of passage. This milestone unlocked for her a kaleidoscope of pens in every imaginable color, each new hue deepening her passion and drawing her further into the colorful embrace of her creative pursuits.
🗒As the years unfurled, Jenny's love for writing blossomed into a full-blown affair. A birthday brought with it a gift that would mark a new chapter in her story: a beautiful pink briefcase. With sparkles in her eyes, she lovingly filled it with an artist's treasure trove—crayons, pencils, pens, markers, highlighters, and erasers. She transformed its exterior into a canvas of her personality, adorning it with stickers and proudly declaring it as hers with her name emblazoned across. This trusty briefcase became her constant companion, journeying with her on adventures across the western United States, nestled among the pines on camping trips, and witnessing the sprawling landscapes of the country. Indeed, this briefcase, vibrant and well-traveled, saw corners of the world many only dream of.
🗒 Beside her beloved briefcase, brimming with the tools of her creative trade, Jenny's world was rich with the canvas of her imagination: paper. As her peers unwrapped dolls, clothes, and the latest toys, Jenny's heart yearned for something different—volumes of old legal forms from her mother's law office. In the 1990s, these forms were bound in hefty tomes, updated annually, treasures most would overlook. But not Jenny. Where others saw redundancy, she saw endless possibilities, eagerly filling out each form with a fervor that turned the mundane into magic. Her fascination didn't stop there; it spiraled into a love affair with all manner of paper, even crafting art from the perforated edges of printer paper, remnants of a bygone era. The evolution away from these perforated treasures left Jenny nostalgic for the tactile friend of her youth.
As she blossomed into her teenage years, her passion was not only embraced but celebrated by her parents, who transformed an extra bedroom into Jenny's personal creative studio. This space quickly became a sanctuary, overflowing with every imaginable type of paper, folders brimming with potential, pens in a rainbow of colors, and stickers waiting to breathe life into her next project.
🗒 As Jenny's artistic journey matured beyond the simplicity of paper and pens, her creative spirit ventured into the enchanting world of unique stationery. She embraced the allure of large rolls of colored paper, transforming them into the elements of imagination: menus for eateries that existed only in dreams, brochures for enterprises woven from whimsy, and book covers that cloaked her nighttime reads in vibrancy—each book a gateway to new worlds, as she was an avid reader at heart.
In the twilight of the era of perforated printer paper, Jenny discovered a new canvas in the discarded strips, weaving them into colorful bracelets that became tokens of friendship, circling the wrists of her companions in a rainbow of solidarity. But creativity knows no bounds; when her friends' arms could hold no more bracelets, Jenny shifted her gaze to the miniature landscapes of desk decor. From the same humble strips, she crafted tiny adornments, each piece a testament to her evolving craft, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
🗒 Throughout her teenage years and into the tapestry of her college life, Jenny was seldom seen without the companionship of a notebook or a scrap of paper, her pen never the same as the day before, a testament to her ever-changing muse. In college, her fondness for ample writing space made her eschew the constrictive blue books used for exams, yearning instead for pages that allowed her thoughts to roam free.
As she stepped into the professional world, the challenge to infuse her workspaces with creativity arose, her office scenery shifting with the seasons of her career. From this challenge, the concept of Mega Desk was born—a dynamic landscape that began as a mere sprinkle of decorative elements upon her desk. Among these were touches of elephant decor, a nod to her favorite animal, a pen holder for her eclectic collection of pens, and notably, a pickle jar brimming with shredded paper walk book relics from her inaugural foray into a Presidential campaign.
With each passing year, Mega Desk evolved, burgeoning into a vibrant ecosystem that hosted an array of stuffed animals, flickering candles, treasured mementos, and a parade of elephant figurines—peaking at a collection of 62 at one jubilant juncture. These were not merely objects but pieces of a puzzle brought back from the corners of the world by friends, family, and her husband, each adding a layer of story and sentiment.
Mega Desk's mission was simple yet profound: to transform her desk into a nucleus of joy and discovery. Visitors stepping into the office were whisked away on an impromptu adventure, each item on her desk a waypoint in a larger narrative. Some were even enlisted in a scavenger hunt, a quest to identify all 62 elephants hidden among the tableau, with small treasures awaiting those keen-eyed enough to spot them all. Mega Desk became more than a workspace; it was a gateway to whimsy, a testament to Jenny's enduring spirit of creativity and connection.
🗒 Decor has woven its way through the fabric of Jenny's life, a constant thread from her earliest memories. Yet, it was later in life that this thread pulled tighter, drawing her deeper into the world of decorative arts as she sought a vibrant and joyful outlet for her creativity. She started modestly, with the flicker of candles, the quiet beauty of snow globes—a collection that began in the innocence of childhood—and the understated elegance of centerpieces setting the stage.
As the seasons of her life shifted, Jenny's ambitions grew, blossoming into elaborate tablescapes that became canvases for her imagination. She transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary, crafting not just decorations but experiences. Valentine's Day was no longer about mere hearts; it was about scattered rose petals in multiple hues under a spell of love while Thanksgiving was reimagined with a tablescape that whispered stories of thanks. Christmas unfurled around a twinkling Eiffel Tower, transporting her guests to Paris, and the Fourth of July saw the past reborn with a Revolutionary soldier's tent, each celebration an echo of Jenny's boundless creativity.
But Jenny's decorative journey didn't end with the turn of the seasons. With a flourish of her award-winning talent in silk flower arranging—a craft she had honed and been recognized for over the years—she brought the spirit of each season to life, adorning her doorways with the delicate whispers of holidays and the changing hues of the seasons. Each arrangement was a testament to her skill, a prelude to the wonder that lay beyond, inviting all who entered to step into a world shaped by Jenny's creative vision.
Passing the Pen
Throughout the tapestry of her life, Jenny has danced with bursts of creativity, those vibrant splashes of color in a world often draped in uniformity. Indeed, the enforced conformity of a school uniform throughout her education only fueled her yearning to unleash her imagination, to break free from the monochrome and weave her own kaleidoscope of expression.
In the wake of COVID, as the world shifted beneath her feet, Jenny observed a gradual dimming of the once lively workplace. Offices, once buzzing hives of collaboration, turned into silent stretches of remote workstations. The vibrant tapestry of office life faded, leaving behind a more isolated and, at times, dreary existence. Celebrations, too, transformed—morphing from gatherings filled with warmth and laughter into Zoom calls, where connection flickered across screens, a reminder of the distance between us. Amidst this new normal, the art of gifting, once a joyful endeavor, became a labyrinth of challenges, each idea harder to grasp than the last.
Jenny watched this unfolding, her creative spirit undimmed, recognizing in these changes not just loss but the space for innovation, for reimagining the ways we connect, celebrate, and bring joy to one another, even from afar.
