Meet the Maker
Hi everyone, my name is Chelsea and I am the founder and creator of Willow Bee Goods! I started Willow Bee Goods in January of 2020, focusing on plant earrings made from polymer clay. After I adopted my Heinz 57 puppy, Levi, at the end of February, I started to change gears because I wanted him to look cute, and I wanted to match! I dusted off my grandmother's hand-me-down sewing machine (that I still use today) and sewed Levi's first bandana. I fell in love with making them!

I made a ton of prototypes, trying to find the right one. I like to think I have found it! I like the tie-on version of bandanas because it can grow with your puppy, especially one like Levi, where I don't know how big he is going to get because I don't know what breeds he is!
I decided to stick with dogs for my business because my entire adult life has been spent looking after and working with animals. During college, I interned and worked seasonally as a zookeeper, until I graduated and became a full-time zookeeper. I now work on an educational farm. Animals have always truly been a passion of mine and I hope to share the knowledge I have gained from my profession with you!

My favorite part about my jobs have always been enrichment and training. This is also something I try to bring into Levi's life every single day, and hope to share with you all to strengthen the relationship between you and your dog.
