About Us
Our founder and CEO, Shayna, studied Environmental and Sustainability Studies at Michigan State University where she first found her passion for reducing her ecological footprint. During her study abroad trip to New Zealand in 2018, she first handedly saw and experienced the dramatic contrast between the United States and New Zealand citizens daily lifestyles. Amazed by how elegantly New Zealanders incorporated sustainable practices, she was inspired to create Parallel Essentials as a luxury sustainable brand to introduce and encourage similar eco-friendly behaviors in America starting with her community.
