Meet The Founder

 

Katt Winter, a name synonymous with creativity, compassion, and a deep connection to the natural world, has forged her own unique path, defying expectations and pursuing her passions with unwavering dedication. A free spirit, born into an entertainment industry-focused family in the diverse city of Los Angeles, Katt yearned for a different kind of expressive platform, one where she could showcase her eccentric and esoteric interests while making a meaningful impact on the world.

Her early explorations in acting and performing hinted at her artistic inclinations, but it was in the realm of the digital arts that Katt felt she had found her place. With an entrepreneurial spirit that belied her age, she established her own web design business before her peers had even graduated high school, marking the beginning of her successful digital ventures. Her talent and expertise quickly gained recognition, culminating in the sale of her first website for an impressive $5,000 to a woman-owned production company.

Beyond the digital realm, Katt's passion for the natural world extended to the captivating aquatic world. She immersed herself in the aquarium community, specializing in labyrinth fish and breeding Siamese fighting fish, which she lovingly called "Living Poetry" for fish shows. Driven by a deep empathy for neglected animals, she began rescuing sick pet store fish, preventing them from being euthanized. Her exceptional knowledge and expertise in treating these fish earned her the moniker "The Betta Doctor." She would lovingly rehabilitate these rescued fish and rehome them to fellow Betta enthusiasts who specialized in their care and keeping.

Seeking a quieter and more natural environment to raise her three children, Katt relocated to the breathtaking shores of the Central Coast of California. The untamed beauty of the coastline resonated with her profound connection to nature, providing a harmonious balance between her cravings for the untamed wilds and the comforts of city life. It was here that a significant life transition ignited a newfound passion for gems and minerals, lighting a flame of scientific curiosity intertwined with a profound spiritual connection to these natural works of art.

This passion gave birth to Sea-lestials, a venture that embodies the unique fusion of the esoteric and the mundane.
