About Us
Hi there! My name is Lisa Cano (That's me in the middle) and I am the owner and designer of Dream Teams and Daydreamer Designs.
I suppose every small business website should have a cheesy "about me", right? Ok, here goes! Summer of 2015, I was entering my last year of Grad school. I was still unsure of exactly what I wanted to do with my life, but Mama always told me to get an education! I just assumed by the time I graduated, I would have it all figured out, right?
On tax free weekend, I decided to venture out to the mall. Such a headache of a shopping trip, but every penny counts when you're a College student. I remember looking at the jewelry section of a Big Box store. I picked up a pair of, what I thought were, cheap earrings, only to see that they were $50! Nope! Not today! {I'm just gonna put these back...}
That evening when I got home, I thought back on those earrings. You know that feeling us ladies get when we didn't buy something ;) Suddenly, LIGHT BULB! I'm gonna make my own dang earrings! That was the moment I decided I wanted to create something fun and unique that even broke college students, like myself, could afford. I never imagined my little rebellion would turn into a full-blown business!
Flash forward... In 2019 I purchased an old trailer and converted it to a mobile boutique. We take it to markets and events around the area. With it's glittery turquoise paint, you can't miss us!
In early 2020 I made the decision to re-brand to Daydreamer Designs (from Mermaid Kisses). We wanted to give our brand a makeover and changing our name seemed to be the place to start.
In April 2020, I moved into a larger office so I could expand operations. This was also during the Coronavirus pandemic. So, while business was slow I took advantage of the time and started my graphic tee line and other new ventures. Later that year we expanded our workshop and hired 5 team members!
Exactly 4 years later, April 2024, we moved into a brick & mortar suite by my house. This has been the most exciting part of my journey so far! We now had the ability to provide a shopping space for our customers and more room for our team to move around! We also re-branded once more to Dream Teams! We found over the recent year we had more of a desire to work with schools, teams, sports, and organizations! While Daydreamer Designs remains our wholesale line, Dream Teams has taken off in our little town.
I am so excited to see what's to come for Dream Teams and Daydreamer Designs! Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my little dream!
PS: Daydreamer Designs is also available for wholesale. Our brand is now offered in thousands of shops across the US and Canada :)
