OUR STORY.
The creation of Brush Box has been a long time coming for Kadijiha and Amber, who first met as Community Advisors during their undergrad years at Alverno College. Since then, Amber and KaDi have used their superpowers for the greater good. They started as dorm advisors and focused on building a community within the residence halls that would last long after their CA year, though their journey rapidly evolved into doing even more for the community.
While studying Clinical Counseling and Art Therapy, Amber realized how beneficial incorporating the superhero directive was. Patients were able to uncover their hidden capabilities and discover how talented they truly are. Paired with Kadijiha’s love for crafts and superheroes, we created Brush Box.
Brush Box is all about channeling your inner creativity and celebrating your unique self.
