We had the good fortune of connecting with Armando Araiza and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Our mission is to help capture the moment & create a memory for your special event by providing “one-of-a-kind” gifts and engraving services. Our products and customization abilities allow us to commemorate the achievements, milestones, and legacies that happen in our mountain community.

Our team focuses on connecting with our clients by understanding their needs, and delivering a product that they will be proud to present! We strive to provide value to each client, personalize each experience, build long-lasting relationships, and provide an unforgettable level of service.

Owning a small business is never easy and presented many challenges throughout the journey. Learning development starts with self and in order to give the best to my business, I had to become the best version of myself.

We want everyone to know we are here for the community, making an impact with sustainability, and non-profits in our area.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would recommend purchasing an epic pass and enjoying the mountain. A beautiful stroll to booth falls. When we’re ready for a big meal, I would treat them to Te Amo in Eagle-Vail.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Colorado Small Business Development (COSBDC) Score.org

These two organizations helped me with incredible one-on-one mentorship and business classes. Without the help of their knowledge and patience, I wouldn’t be where I am today, or as optimistic as I am about the future of my business.
