OUR FOUNDER
Meet Koops
Koops is an 18 year old artist and social entrepreneur from Miami Beach. Since the age of 3, Koops has been making one-of-a-kind art.
For as long as she can remember, one of her biggest inspirations was empowering people through her own art, utilizing POWER WORDS as a common symbol throughout her collection.
Koops hopes that: “each piece evokes emotion and inspires everyone to embrace their own POWER. Words are so powerful in themselves and I have curated my art to resonate most with positive change.”
In 2010, Koops worked on a project for the Humane Society donating all her proceeds. For that initiative, she collected donations and sold small, handmade creations.
Koops has been involved in numerous other projects involving the Diabetes Research Institute, CADENA, Make-a-Wish of Southern Florida, Feeding South Florida, Best Buddies, etc.
Her work has been featured in several public and private spaces around South Florida including the KidsBasel, Serena Williams Pop Up, The Aventura Hospital & Serendipity Labs.
