Nadia Rivera

Hi, I’m Nadia — the creator behind Rosemary + Basil.

I’m a local maker and creative who started Rosemary + Basil as a way to slow down, work with my hands, and create intentional, usable goods rooted in simple ingredients and thoughtful design. What began as soap and body care has naturally grown into small, hands-on workshops where people can learn, experiment, and create something of their own.

My approach to workshops is beginner-friendly and relaxed. You don’t need prior experience — just curiosity and a willingness to get a little creative. I focus on keeping classes small so everyone feels supported, comfortable, and unhurried throughout the process.

The Rosemary + Basil Botanical Soap Workshops are designed to be approachable, calming, and hands-on. My goal is for you to leave not only with handmade soaps you can use at home, but also with a sense of confidence and enjoyment in the creative process.

I’m so glad you’re here and truly appreciate you choosing to spend your time creating with me.

— Nadia
