About Me:

My family is originally from Finland, but I was born here with my twin sister, Bella, in Naperville, IL. Our family moved here to Las Vegas shortly after when we were about 1 yrs old and we’ve been here ever since. I went to Eileen Conners Elementary, Leavitt Middle School and Centennial High School. Around 2019, I believe it was, I started doing all of the custom orders at my work which originally was custom card guards and has turned into doing everything custom for anyone around the world. With this, I’ve really gotten into collecting casino chips, learning about the history of casinos in Nevada and being more creative at work and outside with personal projects. I’ve found myself opening up a lot more and being more outgoing than before I started working, which has helped me go to many conventions over the years, meet people I would’ve never thought of and do things I personally didn’t think I would’ve been able to do!
