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.
