I’m a proud mother of three amazing children (two adults and one teenager) and a lifelong creative at heart. Crafting and DIY have been part of my life since I was young, working side-by-side with my mother. Born and raised in New York with Dominican roots, I’m happy to say, si hablas español, aquí estoy para ayudarte!

In 2017, I took a leap of faith that completely changed my life. After years of working as a CNA in a nursing home, pulling 16-hour shifts from Monday through Sunday, I was completely burned out. My partner, who I met in 2016, encouraged me to leave my job and focus on my passion for crafting and my business, which I had started in 2010 but never had the time to fully grow.

Quitting my job was one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made I had been working since I was 13 years old! But with the love and support of my partner, my children, and close friends, I was motivated to dive headfirst into my dream. That same year, I moved to a new state, rebranded my business as Andrina’s Kreations LLC, and began focusing on creating beautiful, handmade items full-time.

I also started my YouTube channel to share my journey, teach others how to craft, and empower people to build their own businesses from home. Now, 800+ videos later, I’ve grown an amazing community of crafters and entrepreneurs. Over the years, I’ve expanded my offerings to include wreaths, jewelry, chocolate covered treats,custom party favors and lots more. When customers began requesting party favor templates, I found a new love for designing them, and it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.

I’m so thankful for the community I’ve built and for the opportunity to do what I love every day. Whether you’re here to shop, learn, or get inspired, I’m excited to have you join me on this journey. Thank you for supporting my small business!
