FOUNDER- LOVE INFINITY FOR ALL

Diane (pronounced Deanne) is the founder of Love Infinity For All, a jewelry company whose mission is to start a conversation about the far too silent impact of mental illness. Every piece is handmade in Los Angeles and donates 15% to local mental health charities.
Diane is originally from Brussels, Belgium. She has also lived in Germany and Switzerland. After graduating from college she moved to Los Angeles, with only $100 and not knowing a word of English. Though she is known for being an advocate for mental health she also is a successful yoga teacher. After a couple of years of hard work and earning a second degree, she discovered yoga and it's numerous health benefits. That's when she decided that teaching Yoga was what she wanted to do. Diane holds a 500 RYT certification and has been teaching Yoga for 10 years as well as anatomy for numerous Yoga teacher trainings in Los Angeles for 5 years. Though her teaching has helped people experience life through a different lens, she had been yearning for a way to help people on a bigger scale. Creating Love Infinity For All is fulfilling her need to impact the world and change it for a better more compassionate future.

CO-FOUNDER- SIESTAS FOR FIESTAS

We are Chris and Jesenia, a husband and wife team from Los Angeles. In 2015 we relocated to Cancun, Mexico. Upon our arrival, we were blessed to meet Pastor Arturo and his congregation at Fe, Amor y Esperanza. He shared with us an especially personal and heartfelt mission; the church’s ongoing Christmas project to feed families living in poverty. We were inspired by his heart for this project and began brainstorming ideas on how we could help. We came up with the idea of creating festive beach blankets using the region’s soft and charming textiles. Behind the beauty and purpose of these delightful blankets is an even more gracious cause inspired by kindheartedness embodied by Fe, Amor y Esperanza.
