Abbie Weiler inspires, encourages, and continues to grow into her rogue and launched her biz, ClayfulByAbbie in the middle of COVID!

Abigail (also known as Abbie) Weiler (Wy-ler) is a recent college graduate, jewelry designer and the CEO of ClayfulByAbbie, which is a Kansas City based artisan polymer clay earring business intended to instill confidence for customers to conquer their day. Abbie started Clayful in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and has been creating ever since. She regularly sells at craft fairs and has sold over 1600 of her designs around the world, including to all 50 United States.

For the first 10 years of her life, Abbie lived in a town of 200 people, before moving to Springfield, Missouri for middle and high school, then Kansas City for college. She graduated from the University of Missouri - Kansas City earlier this week, where she received her B.A. in Political Science with minors in International Studies and French. While at UMKC, she was a proud member of the Xi Phi chapter of the Delta Zeta sorority, along with many other organizations and clubs.

Outside of Clayful and her studies, Abbie has had many exciting opportunities in her 22 years of life. She has interned at the Missouri State Capitol, been elected the youngest Student Government Vice President in her university's history, traveled to 17 countries, received a resolution from the Missouri legislature, placed 2nd place in an international vlog competition, lobbied on Capitol Hill, and spent 11 months studying and living in Lyon, France. In her rare moments of free time, she enjoys attending concerts, going on walks, trying new coffee shops, floristry, traveling, watching movies, scrapbooking, and exploring Kansas City with friends.

 

As if this wasn't enough- Abbie continues to challenge herself and embrace change. She does not like to be bored. She is always doing, something!

 

In the midst of a pandemic, Abbie gets creative and chooses to challenge herself to learn something new and it turns out being something she loves doing. I believe this speaks  volume to the things our lives that we wish or think about doing, but don't take action. Abbie takes extreme action.

 

How has Abbie been able to travel to over 18 countries and manage work-life-school balance?!
