About Me

Hi,
I'm Caitlin Ribolli
I make gentle tools to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself.

Would you believe I'm almost 30 weeks pregnant here

This is us in 2017, the year we met. We were so little here 🥹🥹🥹

The epitome of unconditional love 🥰

For most of my life, I didn’t think I was creative. I was book-smart and art class stressed me out more than anything. I was stuck in rigid, black-and-white thinking and quietly struggling to fit in (classic undiagnosed neurodivergent stuff).

But once again, nature brought me home.

As I worked on the land, I became deeply drawn to zero waste living. I started repurposing everything—sewing, fixing, transforming—and I realised: creativity isn’t about making art on command. It’s about seeing potential. It’s about finding ways to make things better. And I’m really good at that.

Good to see my fashion sense hasn't changed that much

I made this whole dress out of a doona cover and a bit of scrap fabric I found at the op shop 🪡

So yes—I am creative. Just not in the way school taught me.
I see patterns. I make connections. I take ideas and turn them into something more useful, more meaningful, more whole. And I’m deeply resourceful.

That’s the heart of my work now.

Everything I create begins with a question like:
How could this be more useful? More practical? More straight forward?

A pillow with the wheel of emotions? Let’s add the wheel of needs to the other side.
Fidget cubes are great—but what if they included grounding practices?
Card games are fun but shallow. Question cards are meaningful but awkward. Why not combine them into something that feels natural, playful, and intimate?

This is for those that are drawn to live
deeply
intentionally
slowly.
The ones who feel too much or not enough.
The ones who want to be present, but don’t always know how.
The ones who crave peace, authenticity, and something real.

I’m building a life I don’t need to escape from.
One where I can live slowly, raise my son with presence, and stay close to nature.
And I hope, in some small way, this work helps you do the same.

Love, Caitlin xx

I grew up in a small town, on a sheep and cattle farm—covering myself in mud, planting trees, and playing with animals while I was supposed to be helping Mum. I loved being outside in nature, and that love naturally led me into a career in environmental restoration where I continued planting trees and playing in the dirt, surrounded by creeks, forests, and long stretches of quiet.

It was in that stillness—kneeling in the undergrowth, my mind free to roam—that the real work began. I had space to think. To feel. I started reflecting on everything: what I believed in, what it meant to live well, how to stop trying to please everyone, and how to find my way back to myself.

I’d always felt things deeply—anger, joy, sadness, wonder—but growing up, my big feelings were often misunderstood. I was told to settle down, or I was overreacting or was made fun of for being “angry at the world.” It made me believe there was something wrong with me, or that emotions were something to hide. I didn't know what to do with all my feelings, so I shut them down. I lived in my head and lost touch with my body.

But in that quiet time in nature, I began to come back to myself.

I’d send hundreds of messages a day to my best friend, pouring out thoughts about life, love, identity, and what it really means to be human. Those thoughts became a foundation. Those moments became my work.
