About Deanna
I am an Esthetician and published freelance makeup artist with 30 years in the beauty industry. My only daughter, Serena, is Neurodivergent, and on the Autism spectrum. I've enjoyed cooking since a young age and passed that passion on to her, which is how we created Geeky Goodies Bakery & Confections. As a single mom, I wanted to pursue something meaningful that we could enjoy together, finding art through our love of food, and to build a company that can continue for Serena after I'm gone.
Goodies Bakery & Confections hand crafts small batch artisan marshmallows in a wide variety of types and flavors in NW Indiana.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
My hobbies are quite varied. I love my work and find it seeps into my hobbies as well. I'm a longtime Cosplayer/Reenactment/Renaissance Faire performer, bringing to life historic figures from a wide variety of timelines, and using my professional skills in hair and makeup in my reenactments. I love to read and collect vintage and antique books. I love to entertain friends and family and creating a themed tea party or dinner menu with cocktails.
FAVORITE PASTIME OR HOBBY
PARTY TRICK, USELESS TALENT, OR FUN FACT
I'm a couch of useless knowledge. I know a huge amount of pop culture trivia that only comes in handy when playing quiz games.
I'm excited to be a part of such a talented group of creatives. I truly feel that connecting with your peers assists in inspiring each other to achieve higher goals. We're all a cog in the greater machine of art.
