Youth entrepreneur takes on Pop-culture, Pro-self-images, and Branding in the Marketplace.

Southington,CT, USA- May 27, 2014- New competition for the hearts and minds of our Nation's youth should be welcomed according to the co-founders of Happy Creations, a new faith-based Arts and Educational retail business in Connecticut.

 

9-year old Hachilah Felton started creating 'happy images' and designs since picking up a pencil at age 2. Now she will help a generation of youth face many of today's cultural and social challenges with an inspirational message of encouragement and heart transformation.

A child with a very early concept of entrepreneurship, Hachilah began her own production of now dozens of designs, 'happy characters' and story lines with positive self- concepts for young audiences.

“Her images are striking,” says mom and managing partner, Deborah Garner-Felton. It was amazing to watch a child begin to intuitively “brand herself” and her ideas at such an early age. Her creative concepts literally just leap out of her heart and onto a page or canvas.

 

Early supporters, family members and friends also say that it is her “love-centered” messages that convey her simple themes to young and old alike. “Her work is so uplifting to the soul,” says a close fan of the new enterprise, “bringing a new presence of joy.”

 

Happy Creations’ business concept, marrying 'happy' brands with strong educational messages, will also take on those deepening personal issues facing today's young people. Their mission statement commits to helping children of divorced parents, victims of school bullying or violence, those affected by poverty, and youth who encounter peer-pressure or poor self-image of any kind.

 

Her current goals include breaking new ground as a Christian designer and author in the marketplace. The business expectation is to prototype new role models and products in the world of entertainment.

 

Ms. Felton and Happy Creations will be showing off with a debut of her first book, “Creation Story,” to be released at her upcoming promotional party on Saturday, June 7th, 12 noon at the Southington YMCA. Her first work is an earlier presentation of her deep child-like faith of how much God loves the world and all His creation. Her first new character line and a silent auction of canvassed work will also be available and on sale.
