 Founded in 2023

Our goal is to make homemade cards for hospitalized and sheltered kids, in the hope for it to brighten their day.  The name stems from the words "beautify" and "butterfly."  Butterflies represent hope and happiness which are symbols we want the cards to exude.

HOW DID IT START?

As I sat and pondered about how I could help the community by pursuing something I've always loved, making cards and crafts, my mom sparked the idea of making cards. At first, I was hesitant, but then I began to fall in love with the idea. For a little background about me, I grew up making cards for both of my parents on birthdays and anniversaries. There was something so rewarding with the smile that ran across their face when they opened it (P.S. The younger ones were not even that good, might I add). As I got older, my talents began to grow. My cards are simple, cartoony, and cute. This was something I wanted to bring to others: especially kids. I know, growing up, the importance of implementing art within a child's life. It is both relaxing and takes off the ideas running through a kid's mind. I chose to give back to hospitalized and sheltered kids because I believe they are going through some of the toughest challenges one can go through at that age. - Liam Kakuda, Founder and Designer

WHY OUR BOARD?

When deciding on a board and essential roles, two important people came to mind: Rudra Patel and Shahmeer Khan.  They both exemplify the ability of wanting to excel and achieve greatness which is prevalent for both of them: in academics and in their personal lives.  Their skills were very transferable to Beautifli.  Rudra's desire for the complicated portions of an organization helps guide us and stems from being an active member of other non-profits.  Shahmeer is not one to shy away from presenting his ideas and asking for help to pursue them.  These, combined with Liam's passion for design and leadership, have made a successful organization.
