About our CEO/Owner Xenisha "Caprice" Hawkins:

Welcome to **Caprice Customz**, where passion meets creativity! My name is Xenisha, and I’m proud to share my journey with you.

I served six years in the United States Navy as a medic, a chapter of my life that taught me resilience, discipline, and the value of service. As a wife and mother of four incredible children (two girls and two boys, all under the age of 11), I strive to balance family, ambition, and creativity every day.

With a bachelor's degree in psychology and as a proud member of **Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated**, I’ve always been committed to growth and community. Initially aspiring to become a psychologist, I transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom, cherishing time with my family. However, my curiosity and love for learning drew me to the exciting field of technology.

I took a bold step into the world of **Cybersecurity** by attending the **Virginia Tech powered by Fullstack Academy cybersecurity program**, where I fell in love with tech and its endless possibilities. While immersed in my studies, crafting became my creative outlet—a way to unwind and channel my imagination. This passion for making beautiful, handcrafted items led to the birth of Caprice Customz.

At Caprice Customz, I combine my love for technology and crafting to bring unique, personalized products to life. I believe there’s something truly special about owning items made by hand—each piece tells a story and reflects the hard work and care of its creator. Unlike mass-produced factory items, every creation at Caprice Customz is infused with heart and originality.

**Giving Back**

Caprice Customz is more than just a business; it’s a way to make a difference. I’m committed to supporting women like myself who want to begin their journeys in cybersecurity. That’s why a portion of my business proceeds will be donated to the **Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS)** organization, which provides scholarships and mentorship opportunities for aspiring women in the field. Together, we can empower more women to thrive in technology and break barriers.

Thank you for supporting my journey and my vision. Whether you’re here for a customized product or just to learn more about my story, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s make something beautiful together!
