"My ultimate dream is to be able to use language and to work with artisans, support traditional art forms, preserve culture, and share their stories, particularly in the US. I think products are an amazing way to connect with people and to connect with cultures worldwide. They can bring beauty and meaning into our lives, help us to see the world in a different way." — Cayley Pater
