I've always been a storyteller.

When I founded Chromatique in 2026, I was submerged in the demands of graduating college, publishing an eighty-page honors thesis, and preparing to pursue graduate levels of research across the country. I loved infusing a creative approach to the seemingly mundane; food, clothing, home decor. Everything has the potential to be something, even our bodies.

Throughout cultures, self expression and storytelling has been intertwined with the body. There is something magical about telling a story without words. And for me, I'm infatuated with how fragrances and cosmetics can be their own stories.

What began in a one-bedroom college apartment soon became Chromatique. A kitchen table became a packaging station; a living room closet homed boxes of brimming inventory. In our very first month, Chromatique fulfilled more than 1,000 orders for customers across the United States. Today, not only has my journey as a PhD researcher blossomed, Chromatique has scaled its operation size from a bedroom to warehouse while remaining committed to offering designer, niche and luxury cosmetics - because everyone has a story to tell.
