About
Meet the illustrator + founder, Jolie
Designer. Artist. Creative. Christian. American.
Introduction From Me To You
As with many, it took years to find what I wanted in a career. I was a lifetime artist and knew a passionate creative was not only a part of me, but a dream job.
"My hope for wheerie Life is to make the world a better place by fighting the practices that seek to destroy it."
I acquired a bachelor's degree in graphic design, leaving with more knowledge but not a clue as to what I wanted. All I knew was that illustration continued to call my name.
And then, an idea blossomed. How about upcycling clothes by putting my designs on them? I could have the freedom to illustrate and design how I wanted.
Passion + talent + freedom = my cup of tea (alongside matcha). With that freedom, I wanted to create an uplifting product + business that gave back.
My hope for wheerie Life illustrations is to make the world a better place by fighting the practices that seek to destroy it. Therefore, much of my inspiration is from nature itself and reflecting on the eternal life Jesus gave me, which makes life worth living. By wearing upcycled and uplifting artwork that makes an eye-catching statement, we can spark conversations of beauty and positivity therefore connecting with our community and planet.

Peek Into the Process
From Idea to Finished Product
(Coming Soon)
One of my goals is to create a video exemplifying the process of what I do to bring you closer to me and my products. While this isn't in the works yet, it is a real project on my real checklist!
Promises
I promise to be as involved in the process as possible and to take great care of each item from start to finish.
I promise to be as sustainable as possible and to reduce waste, by upcycling as many items as I can and using eco-friendly practices.
I promise as high a quality as I can go, because I believe in quality over quantity and greed.
I promise to donate 5% of my profit each month to an organization of my choice to uplift others even further. See the organization I donate to here.
Signed,
Jolie Parent
HIGH QUALITY PROMISE
My upcycled garments are either 100% natural fiber or at least a 50% natural fiber blend.
"About 60% of material made into clothing is plastic, which includes polyester, acrylic and nylon textiles...
...Every time they're washed, they shed tiny plastic fibers called microfibers, which are a form of microplastics + tiny pieces up to 5mm in size...
...Laundry releases about half a million tons of microfibers into the ocean every year (~3 billion polyester shirts)." Read more.
