Designer Spotlight: Jenny Chism for Monkey-Toes.

Meet Jenny...
Kids will be kids. And stylish moms want to keep them looking cute as a button. For Jenny Chism, understanding this age old truth brought forth more than peace of mind during her morning dressing routine with her two young daughters. It brought her into the world of entrepreneurship.Meet Buzzy Bees, Little Piggies, Leap Frogs, Spunky Spiders, and Little Ladies - the playful pals of Monkey-Toes. Monkey-Toes, Chism's line of fun
animal themed footwear, blossomed from a single mother's dream of being a stay-at-home mom and an all-American business owner. Inspired by her daughter's long toes, the name "Monkey-Toes" was a perfect fit for the collection of hand painted children's sneakers and matching socks.Jenny understands today's parents and has a great eye for style - two traits that she finds indispensable to the success of her company. She effectively balances her roles of business owner and single mother. While raising her two daughters, the Colorado native works away designing and painting her one-of-a-kind shoes and serves as chief designer for the newly created Monkey-Toes socks.Jenny Chism is a graduate of the University of Colorado where she earned a Bachelor's degree in business with an emphasis in finance. Prior to launching Monkey-Toes she worked in the event planning field. She loves her girls, is passionate about her business and uses a carefully orchestrated combination of Red Bull, chocolate, and Starbucks Soy Chai Lattes to stay on top of it all! Cheers!
