My name is Rose, and through painting, designing, crafting, photography and writing, I discovered a therapeutic outlet during my loved one's courageous battle with cancer, enabling me to express myself positively and embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, growth and transformation of pain into unexpected beauty, strength and purpose, wounds into wisdom. This experience inspired the creation of SOYAM, a brand through which I share my story and creations to connect with others and foster awareness. SOYAM mission is to encourage and inspire individuals, to explore the therapeutic value of self-expression, healing and transformation, to find new ways to gain insight, develop new coping skills and utilize creativity to deal with life challenges. 

 

SOYAM originated from my nickname Mayos, spelled backwards as SOYAM, which inspired "Story Of You And Me". A brand name honoring my brief yet profoundly impactful connection with my late best friend and fiancé, Patrick Milligan (10/1979 - 08/2022). His memory brings me courage, comfort and inspiration to create and embrace life fully. I'm beyond grateful for his encouragement, support, kindness, gentleness, and for showing me the bright side of America.

SOYAM Artistic Candles are made from US grown organic soybeans and essential oils.

​

Bracelets, earrings, keychains, bookmarks and more are made of natural stones, high-quality beads and charms. Colors, sizes and shapes may vary slightly.​​​

 

SOYAM Creations are carefully handcrafted and designed by me with a focus on details and quality. The joy, warmth and inspiration these pieces bring to their recipients are a testament to their value. I am pleased to share them with you, hoping they bring you as much joy as I felt designing them.

SOYAM supports:

Relay For Life (U.S.) 

E.P.I.C. (Express, Play, Inspire, Create), a SOYAM project for kids in the Philippines.
