Sunshine has been an avid crafter for over 25 years now. She started by hosting small crafting activities for friends. She then slowly grew it to bigger events, gathering over 200 people to craft together.

She and her family have been based in Toronto, Canada since 2013. In 2015, she launched The Crafters Marketplace while on her maternity leave, by curating colouring books and colouring materials. Then as the followers kept coming, she diversified into planner material, patterned paper, machines and watercolour medium.

As a community leader, she has organized multiple big events that catered to the crafters need to get together to craft and shop.

After graduating from The University of The Philippines with a degree in BA English Studies, Sunshine worked in the corporate world for a few years before starting her first business of selling vegetables from Baguio City.

Since the pandemic, she supplemented her online business by doing webinars on wellness through creative journaling, watercolour crafts and gratitude journaling. She has also began her mindset coaching for Powerful Women.

This was taken last October 2019 at their biggest event yet with 120 participants and 30 onsite vendors and sponsors.
