Behind iCAN

Hi, I’m Lily, the creator of iCAN Mail Club.

I’m a creative at heart — a photographer, songwriter, artist, and designer — but most importantly, a mom to two wonderfully creative individuals.

One of my children is a competitive dancer, and through her experiences, I’ve learned so much about the dance world and life as a dance mom. My other child is an artist with a love for both art and music, who prefers pursuing her creativity at her own pace, away from the spotlight and competition.

They approach creativity very differently — one through the excitement and challenge of competition, and the other through a quieter, more personal path. But watching both of them grow has taught me something important: even the most difficult things can begin with one simple thought — I can do this. Maybe not today, and maybe not easily, but with time, practice, and the willingness to keep trying, what once felt impossible can become possible.

That simple idea became the heart of:
