Values
Joy is my first personal value. It has become a core part of my being, and as such must also be part of my business.
I am fortunate enough to do the work I am passionate about. I make sure to take the time to express my gratitude for this.
Joy is all around us. It's important to me that we stop every now and then and pay attention to it.

Joy
Growth is my second personal value. Over the years I've come to recognize that I have this internal, inherent force driving me forward to learn, to grow, and to expand. I had no doubt that this would spill over into my business.
So, whenever I find myself pondering, "is this all there is?" I remind myself that, "no, it can't be. It can be better. I'm going to make it better."
Thus, I am always striving to grow, to learn new things, and to broaden my understanding and knowledge.

Why NOTOLUX?
NOTOLUX to me means our stories are worth shining a light on. They are worthy of being seen, if only for our own eyes. It means we have the power to create worlds, to heal, to reflect.
NOTOLUX is dedicated to creating a space of profound self-acceptance and creative expression that allows us to tell our individual stories.
Here, we value learning. Learning that is life-long as we continuously discover more about ourselves and the world.
We advocate for autism acceptance, for all diversity, and for our collective mental health. The world does better when it's people are better. When each of us are given the space to tell our stories and feel heard.
NOTOLUX
NOTO - Latin
note, observe, distinguish by a mark, write, record
LUX - Latin
light, shine, daylight, brightness
About The Biz
This business is owned by an Autistic person and supports neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is "the diversity of ways in which humans think, learn and relate to others, (National Autistic Society).
While Autism is considered a 'disorder', I like to think of it more as a neurotype--our brains just work a little differently and that's ok.

Autistic-Owned
NOTOLUX is a small business, and proudly owned by a woman.
I seek to encourage and advocate for women everywhere, but specifically for late-identified/embracing Autistic women.
You are not alone. We can learn and grow together as a community.
