Founder’s Story

Our roots trace back to edge of Europe, where my father, brother, our beloved dog, and I embarked on a courageous journey across the ocean to America in 1991, hearts heavy with uncertainty yet bound by  unbreakable family ties and hope for a better future. For many years we faced challenges that loomed like insurmountable walls, moments of despair that whispered defeat, but time and again, resilience bloomed from the ashes, turning dead ends into unexpected paths forward, teaching us that hope, like our loyal companion by our side, never truly abandons those who persevere.

From the moment I could hold a pencil, design pulsed as the heartbeat of my family, a vital force that bound us together. I watched in awe as my father conjured stunning architectural masterpieces, state-of-the-art wonders laced with intricate engineering complexity, each one igniting a spark of wonder that shaped my destiny.

Over thirty years ago, I stepped into a professional world crafted by my father, a visionary architect, designer, and engineer whose passion for excellence shaped everything he touched. He built our family business from the ground up with our help, teaching my brother and me the art of creation: the precision of a blueprint, the thrill of turning ideas into timeless pieces. Our designs graced the shelves of elite furniture stores, prestigious department stores, and renowned galleries across the United States, each one a testament to the legacy he instilled in me.

My journey evolved through luxury interior design, bespoke furniture, home accessories, and even leaning and creating cutting-edge computer-generated 3D animations for immersive architectural experiences. When we relocated from Michigan to the sunny Florida, our horizons expanded dramatically. We collaborated on projects for icons like Walt Disney World, glittering Las Vegas resorts, and the opulent Versailles Mansion in Windermere, one of America’s largest private homes, a sprawling 90,000-square-foot estate that demanded the pinnacle of creativity.

In the early 2000s, my brother and I dove into new frontiers, building an in-house video and green screen production studio. Together, we produced captivating fashion shows, commercials, infomercials, and music videos that brought stories to life. But the real adventure came when my father pioneered the first-of-its-kind DVD Video Magazine, launched at the dawn of DVD technology. Dedicated to Central Florida’s vibrant lifestyle, it showcased local businesses through dynamic video presentations created by us, entertainment segments, and coverage of community events, from theme park openings to the grace of the Orlando Ballet. It was chaotic, exhausting, and utterly exhilarating, a wild ride that bonded us deeper as a family.

My brother, with his master’s in materials science and power engineering, has been my rock, my business partner, trusted investor, and a multiple-time target shooting champion. As kids, our father never let me miss a single competition; I’d cheer from the sidelines, watching precision unfold like a symphony. Those moments reframed firearms for me: not as mere objects, but as instruments of discipline and sport, akin to the elegant thrust of a fencer’s blade or the archer’s poised arrow.

As a designer, I’ve always been enchanted by the marriage of form and function, especially the opulent flair of the Renaissance era. Back then, weaponry wasn’t just utilitarian, it was art: swords and armor adorned with flamboyant heraldry, intricate engravings, and symbols of power that whispered tales of valor. That fusion of unyielding strength and breathtaking beauty ignited the spark for Armored Boss™.

Today, our brand weaves state-of-the-art bulletproof materials into pieces that exude style, elegance, and historical soul. Discreet yet daring, they’re designed for everyday life: slipped into a backpack for the office, tucked in your car for peace of mind, or worn as a bold statement that sparks conversations. Each item is meticulously hand-assembled and sewn right here in Central Florida, where I personally prototype, test, and perfect every design. And with every order, I handwrite a heartfelt letter, thanking you for entrusting me with your safety.

As a woman-owned small business, Armored Boss™ is more than a venture, it’s a proud extension of my roots. Caring for my 90-year-old father, the guiding light who raised my brother and me single-handedly, remains my deepest joy and honor. His spirit fuels every creation, reminding me that true protection comes from love, legacy, and unwavering resolve.
