I came with a suitcase.
I built a treasure hunt.

I grew up in Lithuania, where amber isn't a trend — it's heritage. I came up on 14th-century cobblestone streets and old-world buildings, and that's exactly where my eye comes from: drawn to moody antiques, bohemian-eclectic finds, and a love of fashion. I was a fashionista from the start — vintage furs, bold lips, and an eye for the dramatic, long before I ever sold a thing. That European influence shapes everything I curate to this day. When I came to the United States, I had a suitcase, a stubborn streak, and a belief that I could build something of my own.

I earned a psychology degree (turns out: very useful for live selling) and then went to law school. I became an attorney in Florida — a profession I'm proud of and still practice to this day. But I've always had a second engine running: a love of finding beautiful things and sharing them with the people who light up over them.

Then I bought a storage unit on a hunch. One weekend of sorting, researching, and selling later, I felt a brand-new kind of spark — the pure thrill of the hunt. And it was on.

Here's the part I want you to hear: I did all of this as a side hustle, and I started from about as far back as you can. I'm an immigrant in my late forties with five kids, and I only joined social media in 2025 — not a single follower before that. It began on my back patio and my kitchen table, in the evenings and on weekends, with no warehouse and no big overhead. Today: 77,000+ items sold, 70,000+ followers on Whatnot, and 35,000+ on TikTok.

I'm not special. I'm the expert next door — living proof that you don't need a warehouse, a perfect studio, or a free schedule to build something real. You just need someone to show you how, kindly and without the gatekeeping. That someone is me, and that's what this whole site is for.

I went live, and everything changed. Whatnot gave me a stage; the community gave me a reason to keep showing up. Seventy-seven thousand items later, the “product” isn't really the vintage lamp or the amber ring. It's the friendship around the find. That's why everything I build comes back to one promise: treasure found, friendship included.
