About the FoundHER(s)
When I thought of Snaps, I couldn’t wait to start making them. Snaps really inspired me to become an entrepreneur. I love fashion and making things, so designing the charms and working on the business is something that I enjoy spending time on and reshaping. I’m excited by what I’m creating and I love that Snaps is providing people with a fun, new way of accessorizing.
About the Company
I’ve always liked the idea of shoelace charms, but they’re annoying to loop through your laces and a lot of them are not very cute. I created Snaps with the same intention as Jibbitz or any other sneaker charm, to easily customize and accessorize shoes. However, Snaps were created to easily snap onto any laces in an accessible, fashionable style, so anyone can customize their sneakers with minimal effort.

Mission
We strive to empower individuals to express themselves through their shoes. Snaps provides customers with an easy, user-friendly way to personalize their style. We want to provide customers with a fun way to customize something they wear everyday. In a similar way to Jibbitz, created by Crocs, we want customers to feel a sense of pride in what they’re wearing and what they’ve transformed their shoes into by using our charms!
