My Services

Minneapolis Mehndi & Henna

Where it all started.
My original business offering modern, cultural henna body art for parties, weddings, and special moments. This is the heart of it all—the first spark that led to everything I’m building today.

Small Batch Body Art & Craft

Where the sparkle came in.
This branch started when I began making crystal catchers in 2023 and wanted to expand beyond henna. Now it includes glitter body art, face painting, creative workshops, and handmade goods. It’s the name I use for public markets, festivals, and craft events—anywhere I get to show up with color and creativity.

Small Batch Soul

For soft energy and curious hearts.
A calm space for henna with intention, aura workshops, and metaphysical services. This is where I offer energy work and spiritual tools for folks exploring healing, balance, or just looking for a gentler vibe.

Small Batch Charm & Cheer

A creative event service with personality.
This is my event service branch offering unique artist-made rentals, live art activations, face painting, glitter, and small-scale catering add-ons. Perfect for birthdays, pop-ups, and community gatherings that want fun, colorful touches and something a little different than the usual setup.

Northern Charm Nails (coming soon)

Nail art with Northern personality.
This offering is still in the works, but it’s something I’m super excited to grow. I’m planning to bring hand-painted, art-forward nail services to life after completing nail school—think creative sets with a personal twist, whether that’s custom press-ons, pop-up nail art, or future appointments. It’ll be a mix of cute, bold, and culturally inspired work once it’s ready to launch.

Small Batch Hand Engraving

Personalized details, elevated feel.
A luxe service offering on-site or custom hand engraving for gifts, glassware, fragrance, and more. Great for weddings, client gifting, and upscale pop-up events. I also work with companies, brands, and department stores to add that high-touch moment people remember—clean lines, personal messages, and a custom experience every time.

Small Batch Pantry

Sweet things, small batches.
I got my cottage food license on a whim—and now I’m baking cookies, seasonal treats, and whatever else sounds fun. It’s all experimental, all small-batch, and made for pop-ups, pre-orders, and gifting something cute and homemade. No big plan, just tasty little bakes with a whole lot of heart.

Small Batch Bites (coming soon)

Fresh food, thoughtfully made.
This food cart concept is focused on fresh, flavorful meals made to fit into a busy workday. The rotating menu will feature seasonal, handheld options designed for downtown professionals looking for a quick, elevated lunch. Whether it’s a grab-and-go order or catering for a team meeting, Small Batch Bites brings convenience without cutting corners.

Small Batch Squeeze

Lemonade, snacks, and sunny vibes.
A pop-up lemonade and snack stand serving fresh drinks and playful treats. Perfect for markets, private parties, and even company events, this setup brings color, flavor, and fun wherever it goes. From classic lemonade to seasonal specials, Small Batch Squeeze is here for anyone who wants a quick refresh or something cute to sip on.

Small Batch Thread

Heritage you can wear.
Handmade accessories and apparel inspired by the Lao diaspora and my Midwest roots. This line features bold prints, meaningful details, and one-of-a-kind pieces that blend culture with creativity. It’s a growing project—starting with handmade items, but open to more in the future as I explore new ideas and expand the line.

Small Batch Care + Cafe (coming soon)

Connection through care.
A future adult day program focused on intergenerational support, cultural grounding, and everyday joy. I’m envisioning a space that feels like home—welcoming to elders, open to families, and filled with shared meals, thoughtful programming, and space for community to simply be together.

Small Batch Mural & Sign

Big signs, bold ideas.
Small Batch Mural & Sign is where I bring hand-painted work to walls, windows, and custom-built stands. Whether it’s for a shop, event, or shared space, I love making vibrant visuals that feel personal and full of life. Open to creative projects, local collabs, and murals that make people stop and smile.

“If you’re here, thank you. This whole thing grows one small batch at a time—and I appreciate you more than you know.”

About me

small batch is the umbrella for all the things I love to make and share as a multi-passionate artist and small business owner based in North Minneapolis.

It brings together a mix of handmade projects and people-centered experiences—from crafts to food to body art—each rooted in care, culture, and connection.

This is a mix of creative work and small business ideas that feel good to build and even better to share—like a detailed henna design, a fresh lemonade, or a glittery pop-up at your favorite local event!
