Meet The Staff:

 Robin:

I am the face behind this amazing brand!  I grew up in the Bay Area in California with my parents and my older brother, Gary.  I have 2 wonderful grown sons, Jackson & Mitchell and two adorable dogs, Foxxy & Cane.  After having a few unsatisfying careers, I finally joined my mom selling residential homes in Los Gatos & the Santa Cruz Mountains in California.  Although I absolutely loved working with clients to help them buy and sell homes, I felt the need to leave Real Estate and create my own skin care business.  After starting my business, my mom and I decided to move to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to be closer to my brother and his family.  When I am not running my business and making products, I take my dogs to fun places in the Santa Fe area or am hanging out with friends.  I also spend a lot of time at my mom's house, helping her with everyday tasks, talking news and politics and going to farmers markets together.  

  Autumn:

I'm a vegan who found By Robin Creations when searching for a natural first aid salve & fell in love the first time I tried their products! I enjoy creating fun & quirky social media posts, photography, emails, blog posts, and helping to create new product formulations. My favorite thing about working at BRC is that we get to better the lives of customers with wholesome natural skincare products. I'm passionate about saving animals, gardening, reducing waste, using all natural products, exercising, jazz music, tattoos, and vegan food! When I'm not working I'm playing frisbee & going on adventures with my pup, Shelby, or tending the garden.

  Ethan:

I, Ethan Walsh, was born and raised in Santa Fe. I was born in 1991, and I've been working in production since 2011. I've worked in fine art framing, medical device production, and most recently in vegan body and skin care for the last 3 years. Since becoming the production manager of BRC I've only wanted to see the business grow and see it become somewhere that people love and trust the products that come out of it.

Not only am I the production manager for BRC, I also run my own coffee brand called 840Coffee (www.840coffee.com). I want nothing but to produce fair trade coffee that everyone can enjoy, love, trust, and keep coming back for more.

  Rebecca:

I pack and fill orders, make soap and bath bombs, and create many other products for the store. I make the product labels as well. In my spare time, I like to play video games, watch movies/tv shows, and be creative in whatever form it may take. I am currently going to school working toward an associate's degree in fine art with a focus in ceramics and eventually getting a master's in art therapy. I love everything about working for BRC because I am able to create and make sure every customer gets what they need. Working for Robin has been an incredible experience. Every day is a chance to learn how beneficial it is to know how natural skincare can make a huge difference. It is a really fun work environment, and I am very thankful to be able to be a part of an amazing business. I was born and raised in Santa Fe, NM and still currently live there with my boyfriend and two cats, Harvey and Evee. I am currently learning how to ride a motorcycle.

  Anais:

I label products, organize/restock items on shelves, and help get products ready for artisan markets. For fun in my spare time, I like to exercise, draw, watch movies, and sometimes play video games. I am currently attending Highlands University in Las Vegas, New Mexico and studying to be a fine arts major. I don't exactly have an end goal for my career yet, but am enjoying my studies. I absolutely love working for BRC! Sometimes I can get too stressed out at school and want to take a break from student responsibilities. Going to work allows me to relieve a little bit of my stress and feel a bit better afterward. BRC feels like my second safe place. My home life is a little chaotic, but I do love my family for their unique quirks. I have a cat of my own and counting all of my family pets in the house we have two dogs and a parrot.

  Foxxy:

Hi!  I’m Foxxy!  I am a 9-year-old Queensland Heeler/German Shepard mix.  Technically, I was the first employee at BRC Skin Care, as I was on the floor (literally) from the beginning.  I watched as Robin would make new products in our kitchen.  I listened to her when she needed to vent about failed products and gave her advice, sometimes, on how she could improve some of them.  If I am being completely honest (but not humble), I am really the genius behind the magic of BRC Skin Care.  It was my idea for her to start making animal care products because I had a super itchy spot on my hiney, and she made a spray and a balm that cleared them right up!  When I am not watching my mom make her amazing creations, I am in the yard playing with my annoying little brother Cane or I am laying smack in the middle of Robin’s office while she is working.  I always need to be as close to her as possible.  She is my favorite hoooman.

  Cane:

Oh hi!  My name is Cane.  I am a 2-year-old Queensland Heeler.  My favorite thing on the planet is any dog toy I can find.  I loooove dog toys so much!  My favorite toy is a giant rat that my momma bought me.  I try my best to shred it to pieces, but I just can’t destroy it.  My mom says it is “indeestruktabell”, whatever that means.  I do not help much with making products and advising mom like Foxxy does because I only want to play with my toys.  On really hot days my mom takes me and Foxxy to the doggie swimming pool at her friend’s house or to the Big River on the super bumpy dirt road.  I love going to those places, but she won’t let me bring my toys.  And sometimes, on really cold days, white fluffy flakes fall from the sky.  I really love chasing them and running through them when they pile up the ground, but sometimes my toys disappear under that white stuff and I can’t find them.  At night, when my mom goes to bed, I love to cuddle up next to her on her extra pillow.  She calls me her snuggle bug.  I love it when she calls me that.
