Blossoming into a New Beginning
Asteraceae was founded by Brenna Bolaños in early January 2020 in Southern California.
Brenna grew up in the Los Angeles region in Southern California. She is a first-generation, college graduate of Salvadoran descent. She graduated in May 2020 with a bachelor of science in biological science from the University of California, Merced.
With an ecology background, her inspiration was the love for the outdoors and plant ID creating her idea behind Asteraceae™ making a plant and custom apparel.
"While creating a sustainable brand, one of my goals is to help people in need. As Immediate Past President of UC Merced Rotaract Club, helping my community has always been one of my morals on a day-to-day basis bringing joy to other people. I hope in the near future, my brand and company will strive in helping low-income communities in the US and El Salvador in projects and scholarships."
