Shelly Arroyo
When she’s not learning something new, Shelly loves doing arts and crafts, watching comedy, playing with her pups and cuddling with her minions -- all alongside being immersed in her love of all things design. Like any 24/7 mom, she cherishes her brief gym time and her daily shower in peace.
