My Story

Heyyy guysssss. My name is Elexis and I'm the founder of Giannis Collection and Giannis Corner. 

I was born and raised in Garland, TX and I've always had a passion for creating. 

In 2019, I founded a nonprofit called 'This Just In...' and I was looking for a way to raise money without having to solely depend on donations. At the time I had already started making candles as a hobby and after praying about it, it seemed to make the most sense. 

From there, I started sending candles to those who donated to our non-profit and after awhile I was asked if people could purchase them outright. In 2021, Giannis Collection was born. 

 I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in Child Development and Family Living (Axe 'Em ;) ). I worked in the education field before moving over to the tech field, but my love for children's literature has always been there.  

I LOVEEEE to read. I've had a passion for reading since I was a child and I truly believe that your love for reading is cultivated at a young age. We have to preserve the art of reading. 

There's something about picking up a book, and feeling the pages in your hands that make it... iconic.  I remember reading books and collecting the stars on the pin to get free personal pans at Pizza Hut. Ha! IYKYK because those were the DAYS! 

I literally have diary entries as a young child pouring my heart out. The things I deemed as life-changing back then lol.

I'm blessed and beyond thankful for the creation and growth of Giannis Collection. I'm extremely blessed to be in business and because of that, I take pride in creating beautiful products and providing excellent customer service. I pray anyone who comes in contact with me or any of my products, has a remarkable encounter that leaves them feeling loved and inspired.

xoxo,

Elexis Gianni 

PS: It's truly amazing how time works. I wrote my first book 'Mommy's Little Sonshine' years before I even knew 'Giannis Collection' would be a thing.  

Timing is key and EVERYTHING has a purpose. 

Be BLESSED.
