MEET THE OWNER
Cherita is the CEO of Unique Designs and Essentials, LLC of Chicago, IL. She found her passion for creativity and design at a very young age. Arts and crafts became a big part of bonding with her mother and grandmother, as she looked up to their caring nature and contributions to others. She always had a love for creative projects and DIYs ever since.
​
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Cherita was unfortunately furloughed from her 9-to-5 and decided to take a leap of faith to chase her heart's desires. The desire was to bring happiness and joy to the lives of others by making their events and occasions special and unique.
​
Cherita found that one of the most difficult parts of this journey was having to try many things before actually finding her niche, and this took time and patience. Now that she has found her niche, she plans to help others build lasting memories for a lifetime while being true and authentic.
