“Single mother, double-dipper, triple-threat;
A bit of kindness in a cruel world, blended with beauty and a plethora of creative talent.”
- My Dad, maybe.
ti·ni /tēnē/ noun
a cocktail made of equal parts awkwardness and wit, typically garnished with a touch of sleep-deprivation.
I’m a Reno resident, born and raised. I have a 13 year old son who makes every single day (impossibly) more interesting than the last. I’m the oldest of 3 and was raised by a single father and a battalion of strong women - namely my Aunts & Grandmother.
I’m tattooed, tall and thick. Only two of those are results of my life choices.
I’ve held MANY titles; Pizza aficionado, Dad-Joke connoisseur, movie/music buff, and expert forgetter of laundry in the washing machine… But my favorite titles are “Mom” and “Creator”.

While I’ve always been an artist, I never had the courage to turn it into a career. I believed my canvas paintings would never sell for their value, I didn’t go to school to study any one form of art, and due to a surplus of indecisiveness I could never really narrow my creativity to one niche.
It took me 20 years… But I finally realized that I DON’T HAVE TO. I can write, paint, design and create to my heart’s content. Hence, the very broad business name; Tini Made It
Tini Made It is the sum of everything I make. Literature, music, paintings, digital media - The sky is the limit. I figured, if I have the ability to make so many different things, enjoy them and get paid for them… I’ve hit the “when I grow up” lottery!
The only way this dream-come-true career of mine could get any better, is if I can make an impact. I want to aid in the success and happiness of others and I hope to see my work on different platforms across the world. And closer to home… I want to show my son that with hard work, focus, honesty and determination, we can successfully pursue our dreams, no matter what odds are against us.
