Kaari Meng is the founder and owner of French General, a shop and workshop space in Los Angeles that she's had for 18 years.

Kaari also design fabric for Moda and Fabricut, steel-rule dies for Sizzix, and embroidery floss palettes and samplers for Cosmo Floss. Molly is an artist, teacher, and story teller. She is the designer and owner of the greeting card company, 8mm. Her cards can be found in shops around the world.
