About the Founders

Krysta and Dorinda met at a school event in 2013 and instantly clicked. Their shared love of fabric, color, and fun products made them the perfect team!
They love color and creating fresh designs with exquisite color schemes!
As moms to NINE kids put together, they know something about what they do, and they work hard to create exceptional products we can all love.
They strive to make every item they design unique, fun, and practical! Everything they make is something their kids and families use and love.
From Krysta:
My family escaped from Cuba in the 1960s, and I grew up profoundly seeing hard work and perseverance. At 19 years old I thought it was a good idea to get married and started having kids right away. I never had a chance to go to college, but I’ve been sewing professionally (including Victorian ball gowns!) since I was 17. I loved the business and design aspects, but my ADHD found dress sewing tedious. When I discovered machine embroidery in 2010, I fell in love! My sewing skills still come in handy for pillows, banners, and some other things, but my real love is color and design. I love it when practical things are beautiful, and everyday items can be made more special with a monogram or favorite design. I LOVE creating new collections for special events! Making things by hand from my studio helps support my family while doing something I love.
Krysta has 4 kids: two boys and two girls, a corgi, and two cats. Her husband is a web developer. She does most of the computer design work, as well as the marketing, and works with Dorinda on the making of products.
From Dorinda:
I also got married at 19 and wanted to have kids right away! I struggled with infertility issues for a few years, and was eventually blessed with a girl, a boy, and then TRIPLET girls! Being a mom took up most of my time, but I still found time to blog, do couponing, as well as pour myself over home decor and design magazines. I’ve always loved color, and I proudly say I don’t have a favorite color because I love them ALL! Working doing something I love from the Persunly studio helps bring in an income. I love how flexible it is so I can spend more time with my busy family!
Dorinda has 5 kids, a German shepherd, and three cats. Her husband is a graphic designer, who helps with lots of their videos and photography. Dorinda is in charge of finances, supply ordering, and product color design, and works with Krysta on the making and packaging.

About the Founder

eco-friendly-product-creator-GloriaMeet Gloria Starita
Founder and CEO of Jade & Pearl 

When thinking of Gloria, the quote “well-behaved women rarely make history” comes to mind. Never afraid to push boundaries, Gloria earned her master’s degree in Psychology/Sociology and African American Studies at SUNY, helping to integrate African American Studies as the first Caucasian female enrolled in the program and through her teaching work in inner-city schools. After attaining her Ph.D. in African American Urban Studies, Gloria worked her way up to become the first female executive at Capitol Cable Vision, now Time Warner. Gloria then bought a farm in New York where she could raise her four children with her goats, chickens, and plenty of fresh vegetables.

In 1972, due to medical issues, Gloria began researching personal care products. Seeing the need for natural alternatives to products containing synthetic materials and harsh chemicals, Gloria started her first company selling sea sponges through local co-ops. In the mid-’70s, Gloria moved to Florida where natural sponges were plentiful. Moving first to Micanopy and then to Gainesville, Gloria helped found the Hog Town Grainery Co-op, managing the juice bar there while continuing to develop her sponge business with the willing spongers of Tarpon Springs, who believed in her cause.

In addition to running a thriving sponge business, Gloria became adept at making healthy vegetarian meals, through her work as a personal chef for a disabled University of Florida Shands surgeon and his family. Her love for providing healthy food blossomed into opening the first juice bar at the Gainesville Regional Airport. Always busy, Gloria also began cooking at the Blue Plate restaurant several nights per week.  Sharing her passion for quality food and good nutrition, she eventually bought the restaurant, turning it into the iconic Magic Mushroom where customers could enjoy her wonderful vegetarian and vegan meals.

Gloria moved from Gainesville to Hawthorne with the desire to pursue a more rural lifestyle. Once again medical issues, this time caused by deer flies and mosquito bites, spurred her innovative nature. Gloria began experimenting with insect repelling essential oils leading to the development of her all-natural insect repellent Beat It!, which has now been available to the public for almost forty years.

About the Company

Jade & Pearl is an ever-evolving company that creates natural products and unique reusable, recyclable, and sustainable gifts.

Gloria, the Founder, and CEO of Jade & Pearl is continuously developing new products, always seeing the need for natural alternatives. Recently creating MaskerAid, their all-natural Mask Freshener, and reintroducing Happy Hands, their alcohol-free Hand and Surface Spray. Through Gloria’s thoughtful inventive ambition, Jade & Pearl has grown to become an ever-evolving company, creating all-natural products for these ever-changing times.

From the Founder:

Why the name kndhuman? And why it’s always spelled with lower case k?
I believe kindness makes us all human. I don’t know, I just feel like aside from kindness I want to emanate humility if that makes sense.
So where’s the “i” in kind?
Well, it’s just easier to be kind if our reasons don’t revolve around me, myself and “I.”
