Our Journey to Freedom Willow

Freedom Willow was born from a legacy of strength and resilience. My family has endured and overcome unimaginable acts of abuse and violence, and this business was founded in their honor—and named after my daughter, Shelby, whose name means “Willow.”

The willow tree symbolizes wisdom, endurance, and renewal. No matter how many times it’s cut back, it always grows again—stronger, more vibrant, and unbroken. That spirit of resilience is the heart of Freedom Willow.

Nature has always been my source of peace, healing, and freedom, and each piece in the Freedom Willow collection is inspired by that same natural beauty. Every piece is designed myself, made to order in the USA, and helps support healing beyond our walls—at least 10% of all profits are donated to organizations fighting to end human trafficking, sexual violence, domestic violence, and the abuse of children and animals.

Freedom Willow is a reminder that our past does not define us—it’s what we do despite our hardships that will determine our destiny. I hope our pieces inspire you to believe in your worth, embrace your strength, and live with the freedom you deserve.

With heartfelt gratitude,
