Conceived and established Happy Hurts LLC, a pioneering toy company tailored for children aged K3-11. Introduced a unique line of play bandages, arm casts, finger splints, and slings, fostering imaginative play and creativity.

Happy Hurts goes beyond traditional toys by integrating psychological and social benefits into playtime. Encourages children to create stories around injuries, fostering imaginative thinking. Provides a platform for children to express emotions, turning a minor "hurt" into a creative outlet. Playing with these toys promotes understanding and empathy towards others experiencing real injuries. Creates an inclusive play environment where children of various abilities can participate together.

Happy Hurts aims to redefine playtime by turning the concept of "hurts" into a positive, educational, and socially impactful experience for young minds.
