our story & our founder
Shy
Founder, Crowned Collective Cares
Shy is the founder of Crowned Collective Cares, a community-centered non-profit organization built to create meaningful experiences, connections, and opportunities for people and families.
With a background in fashion, entertainment, healthcare, and entrepreneurship, Shy has always been drawn to spaces where creativity and community come together. After beginning her journey in fashion and entertainment at a young age, she developed a passion for bringing people together—not simply to attend an event, but to leave feeling inspired, supported, and connected to something bigger.
Through Crowned Collective Cares, Shy is building experiences that range from community giveaways and family initiatives to networking events, industry conversations, beauty and fashion experiences, and opportunities for emerging creatives.
Her vision is simple: create the spaces, connections, and opportunities she wishes more communities had access to.
And this is only the beginning.
My Approach
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Simple ideas
Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.
Lasting impact
We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
