Behind The Box

Welcome to Dusky Lark! I am so grateful you are here!

I live in Clarksburg, Maryland with my husband and a 5 years old, super energetic boy, Marco. My husband and I are both immigrants who came to the US 10 years ago to pursue our dreams. We speak three different languages at home but still working on our American accent and that whole “small talk” thing =)

Despite being a neuroscientist, I have always been obsessed with design, crafting, handmade items and gift giving. So, one day I found myself curating dozens of gifts at one point in 2021 and I thought why not try to turn my creativity into a business? And the rest is history!

We curate our gifts using fine handmade products from artisan makers across the U.S., and we proudly support woman- and minority-owned small businesses (about 90% of our products comes from underrepresented small businesses). Our goal is to provide simple and captivating ways to celebrate life’s special moments. During our search for the best products we can find, we look for many qualities in them before deciding that they are good enough for you. We put lots of love in each gift box and hope that you and your loved ones will enjoy our gifts just as much as we enjoy bringing them to life for you.

I can't thank you all for supporting our passion and allowing us to serve you through gifting. I truly hope our gift boxes will become a treasured gift to you and those you love!
