I'm so glad you are here! I'm Mal, the owner and artist behind Zealous Designs and Healing in the Blooms.
A native Utahan with a serious love for animals, art, flowers and humans. Flowers and friends are my main sources of inspiration, spark and *life*. I'm constantly on the look out for new humans to connect with, get to know, and learn from. So please, introduce yourself to me if we haven't met- message me on IG (@malthecreative), shoot me an email or if we run into each other out in the wild, PLEASE SAY HI!
A bit more about me, I'm married to my Lover and I'm a Dog Momma to two hilarious rescues, Dutch and Billie. I graduated from Utah Valley University with a degree in Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Psychology. Making, crafting, creating has been apart of my life since I can remember and now has become my job, which is freaking awesome.
I'm a reformed True Crime lover (too much anxiety). Nowadays, I love drawing flowers, listening to meditation music, creating new art from old treasures, and sleeping in. I'm not afraid of much, except spiders, uncertainty, and the whole "what happens when we die".
I don't know what becomes of souls once we move on from this life, BUT I do know how I want to live this one life I have - I want to be surrounded by art, nature and kind, curious humans (+ as many animals as possible). I want to be free to explore, create meaningful art and be there for others, all while being my most-true self. That is what I'm creating for my life.

Aunt Mal is my favorite title. You'll find me at my happiest creating memories with the Littles in my life. I take kid parties more serious than I should but seeing those tiny humans enjoy the magical moments I create is best thing.
I believe in magic (especially my own) and helping others see theirs is my life calling. I will take any excuse to make things colorful and FUN. I also believe in always having a tasty, iced beverage in reach. Blue Powerade + Sprite is my favorite combo, I even named it a "Mal Special".
