Today we’d like to introduce you to Cintia Mara Lanhozo.
Hi Cintia Mara, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Twenty-five years ago, I first picked up a crochet hook, inspired by the mesmerizing creations of my mother. The intricate patterns and textures she crafted captivated me, sparking a lifelong passion that has stayed with me ever since. Even though I pursued a different career path, crocheting has remained a cherished hobby—a serene escape that allows me to express my creativity. Over the years, friends and family have encouraged me to share my creations with a wider audience, praising my unique designs. This encouragement finally led me to take the leap and transform my passion for crocheting into a thriving business, where I can bring my handcrafted items to life for others to enjoy.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I dedicated several hours patiently anticipating the chance to showcase my handcrafted creations, each piece a labor of love reflecting my passion.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
For the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of working as an airline pilot, navigating the skies and connecting people across the globe. Alongside my husband, sisters, and mother, I also manage a handmade crochet business that brings me immense joy and fulfillment.
Crochet holds a special place in my heart, as it allows me to express my creativity and craft items. I love seeing the sparkle in people’s eyes and their expressions of wonder when they encounter my creations, each one infused with love and care.
I am particularly known for my stuffed animals, which include an adorable range of characters: fluffy cats, a charming cow, colorful axolotls, sweet turtles, playful octopuses, cheerful ducks, and many more. What sets my work apart is the attention to detail that I pour into every piece, ensuring that each creation not only looks cute but also has its own unique personality.
Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
From a young age, I was surrounded by love and creativity, with my mother serving as my greatest inspiration. Her passion for creation infused our home with warmth and imagination, encouraging me to explore my artistic potential and embrace the beauty of expression.
