BEHIND THE BRAND


About Found by the Sea
Hi, I’m Sonya, the heart behind Found by the Sea. Since I was a child, I’ve been combing the beaches of Nova Scotia—pockets full of shells, sea glass, and weathered bits of driftwood. The shoreline always felt like home. A place to think, to feel, to breathe.
Life carried me away from the coast for a time, but the sea never left me. I felt it in my bones. The saltwater still ran through my veins. I longed for the sound of waves, the scent of sea air, and the feeling of wet sand underfoot.
Eventually, life brought me back to Nova Scotia—back to the water, back to myself. Now, I take my own children to the beach. We pause, breathe in the salt air, run barefoot along the shore, and collect our own little treasures. It's a ritual, a reset, a way to connect—to the earth, to each other, and to the moment.
Found by the Sea was born from that love. From a desire to turn those coastal moments into something lasting. Every piece I make is inspired by the sea, shaped by my journey, and created in hopes that it brings you a little peace, a little joy, and maybe even a little healing.
