My love for sculpting was found early on, starting with dollhouses, but grew immensely while playing my first D&D campaign. Once I caught a glimpse of the monster manuals a light was lit and I found purpose in the art world. I I still have the books to this day! I was just obsessed with everything in more of a miniature format. Working and raising my daughter didn't afford me much time to sculpt, however I tried not to let a day go by where I didn't at least try to learn a new technique and eventually with 3 initial products, Rude & Reckless was born! (Maybe I should also add that I was listening to the Clash "Rudy can't Fail" at the time of the name making decision)
A while later I had become interested in creating a skin care line, which initially was of interest while I attended school for massage therapy. I've always had sensitive skin and eczema, so I wanted that to be the main focus. I started learning about soap making, and FDA guidelines, and when my skills were honed, I teamed up with an esthetician friend and created more of a spa product line, with high quality ingredients. I ended up selling at several locations including Stript Wax Bar to create their Bro Bar and Vajacial soap lines which were at one point showcased at the freaking Playboy mansion! After a few of my ideas were stolen, a new fire was lit and fueled me to branch into something more, adding elements of horror, nerd culture and fantasy (because im a big nerd at heart <3) and piecing together all of my loves into one unified place. I put endless time into constructing each and every piece I create, learn from mistakes, and critiques in order to sell items I am proud of. I love what I do, I love being able to connect with people who share similar passions, form friendships with my customers because I am thankful for you! And I want you to love what you are purchasing!
