How it Came to Be...

Two years ago, I got it in my head to create a brand-new cactus shape.

I’ve always loved our signature saguaro cactus design—but as a proud Texan, something felt like it was missing from our cacti family.

Prickly pear cactus are the ones I see every day here. They grow wild on roadsides, trails, and backyards across the Southwest. I wanted to bring that spirit to life in clay.

Original Prototype

Truth bomb: I’m not a classically trained ceramicist. I didn’t go to art school.
I actually have degrees in Broadcasting and Communications—definitely not “Cactus Design 101” 😅

But what I lacked in formal training, I made up for in grit.
I taught myself everything I know about ceramics. So I rolled out the slabs, hand-formed each pad, and slowly pieced together my first prototype. And you know what...She was ADORABLE.

How do I make more?

The challenge centered around the time it took to sculpt. There was simply no way I could keep up with demand. So this little dream sat quietly on a shelf, waiting for her moment.

Until now.

After months of searching—and a lot of trial and error—I finally found a master sculptor and manufacturing partner right here in the U.S. I never imagined I could make this happen without countless overseas trips and major outside backing.

But I did.

This project has been completely self-funded from day one—no investors, no big team—just me, some serious grit, and a love for what I do.

And I’m incredibly proud to say that this little cactus is now 100% designed, sculpted, manufactured, and painted in the United States.

It’s been a labor of love from start to finish—and she’s finally ready to meet the world.

From the design sketches, to initial sculpt (balloon animal anyone), to careful placement of the light holes, to the notch for the cord - every detail was thoughtfully poured over and celebrated!
