Owner of Woven Intent, Based In Suffolk County
Hi, I'm LaShondra Jarvis, owner of Woven Intent, a lifestyle brand that brings comfort, creativity, and self-care to everyday life. What started as my personal journey has grown into a cozy collection of handmade goods and experiences designed to help you Win the Sport of Life.
I began in 2023 by creating blankets for others after dedicating a full year to intentional self-care. My goal was simple: find a hobby that brought me joy. Knitting was my first stop, and it quickly became my refuge. The soothing, repetitive motion quieted my mind and helped ease the stress I had been carrying. I was hooked—I bought more yarn and kept creating. I felt renewed and inspired to share the experience. I wanted others to feel the joy of taking time for themselves, the pride in completing something with their own hands, and the connection that comes from building community through creativity.
As I expanded my work, I began researching sensory needs and realized how powerful texture and touch can be. That led to the creation of the Cassy Bag—a stylish, moldable purse that doubles as a tactile sensory item designed to calm and ground while on the go.
Woven Intent now creates both spaces and products that help people win the sport of life, through creativity, self-care, and connection.
Each piece I create is a reflection of healing, intention, and joy—woven together to bring warmth, beauty, and meaning into your life.
You can find our soft, comforting Chunky Knit blankets year-round at Dreams West. We also make fashionable tactile purses that are both stylish and sensory-friendly, perfect for adding a unique touch to your day.
Woven Intent hosts knitting workshops for all ages, helping kids and adults tap into creativity, build confidence, and just have fun with yarn and good company.
Whether you're looking for a cozy gift, a mindful moment, or a creative outlet, Woven Intent has something special waiting for you.
Let’s keep it cozy—and intentional.
