Our Story

Our journey begins in the early 1980s, nestled in the sun-soaked suburbs of South Florida—a childhood defined by beauty, warmth, and the safety of a white picket fence. But that idyllic beginning only sparked a deeper desire: to explore far beyond the familiar. With endless curiosity and the support of an incredible family, we set out to experience the richness of the world—its cultures, flavors, traditions, and wild landscapes.

Our grandparents were the original wanderers—gatherers of treasures, storytellers of distant lands, and believers in the magic of human connection. They taught us to learn through experience, to greet strangers with openness, and to taste the unpronounceable. Their spirit fueled our dreams, and soon, two sisters stood before a wall with an unpinned map and limitless vision.

Though we were motivated in different ways and chose unique paths, we've found ourselves converging—again and again—on the same journey.

Andrea has always been a light for conscious living. She opened West Palm Beach’s first all-vegan café, yoga studio, and lifestyle space—The Bee—and in doing so, she introduced her community to the beauty of mindful choices. What began as a small offering became a gathering place, where authenticity and heart created an abundant movement. After the birth of her second son, Andrea turned her creative energy toward the earth—quite literally—through clay. Her handmade ceramics radiate warmth and intention, like holding a cup of love.

Marisa is a force of nature—her energy, creativity, and instinct for beauty have shaped a 20+ year career in fashion. Her work has taken her across the globe, inspiring her to collaborate with artisans who create with soul and purpose. With a deep respect for craftsmanship and a vision that embraces fashion as a force for good, she has helped brands flourish while remaining deeply rooted in integrity. Today, she brings that same spirit to life in her true passion project: a curated, luxurious space filled with the treasures and stories gathered from her travels. A place for community. A home for artistry. A celebration of beauty with meaning.

Despite living oceans apart at times, our lives have always remained intertwined. This new chapter—found.—is the manifestation of a dream we’ve shared since childhood: to travel with purpose. To create something lasting. To build a thoughtful experience that honors the people and processes behind every piece.

Our mission is to cultivate consciousness—through design, through storytelling, through community. We believe in a more intentional way of living: one where we ask not just what we consume, but how and why. From soil to hand, from maker to market, we care deeply about every step of the journey.

We invite you into our world—a world built on doing just a little better each day. A world rooted in gratitude, connection, and care. Because we know that if we don’t shift, our world won’t sustain us. It’s time to return to what matters.

“The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.”
