Who is Busty Built?
I’m 30, and my journey so far has been anything but conventional. Growing up, I was immersed in a world of diverse skills and experiences due to my parents’ entrepreneurial ventures. From woodworking and photography to running a daycare and a wood-fired pizza food truck, their creativity knew no bounds.
Our homes were as unconventional as our lifestyle. We lived in unique places like the old Ringling Brothers home and a converted school building. Watching my parents balance raising me and my siblings with their creative pursuits taught me the value of resourcefulness. Artistry runs deep in my family—my great uncle was a painter and mobile creator, several uncles are skilled in woodworking, jewelry making, and cooking, and my mother herself is a multi-medium artist. We even renovated our homes as a family, picking up skills in drywall, plumbing, and electrical work along the way. When I wrecked my first truck, it was my dad who taught me how to fix it. These lessons instilled in me a strong sense of self-sufficiency and the belief that I can learn and achieve anything I set my mind to.
I graduated high school at 16 and moved away to study Psychology in college. At 19, I became a mother to my first daughter while completing my BA degree with her on my lap. My career in property management and raising two daughters continued to shape my life, especially as my partner’s job often kept him away. I took on multiple roles—home repair, auto repair, meal prep, and homeschooling—juggling numerous responsibilities.
After years of wearing many hats, I realized I needed more for myself. I wanted to merge my diverse skills and experiences into a fulfilling and income-producing venture. Traditional jobs proved challenging to secure, especially with two young children and the high cost of childcare. I was determined not to trade precious time with my kids for employment that undervalued my personal life.
I sought a way to enjoy life again rather than merely getting through it. Reflecting on my marriage, I recognized a desire for a renewed sense of self and intimacy. After a moment of clarity on my garage floor, I decided to create something from scratch a shelf built without measurements or plans. It turned out to have a very organic shape, but completing it gave me a profound sense of fulfillment.
craftsmanship with my sexuality to create and share unique pieces. My goal is to blend my physical attributes with my artistic skills to inspire others to embrace their multifaceted selves. I’m not claiming perfection, but you’ll find enjoyment and genuine passion in what I create.
