Meet Analauren Garcia | Owner & Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Analauren Garcia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Analauren, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
Here’s a bit about how Easy Basic Creations came to be, and how our handmade shop started as a mom on a mission to create her first-born’s year a holiday success and turned into a vibrant and thriving mother-daughter duo. The one that really motivated me to create EBC was my lovely and amazing mother Rayda. I’ve always been a crafty person and love to work with my hands. However, it wasn’t until I had my son Logan that this idea started to form in my mother’s head. She saw how I hand crafted every little detail that I need to make Logan’s first year memorable because I had this crazy new mom concept in my head of how I wanted everything to look but couldn’t find anything! From the monthly milestones, holiday events, nursery décor, first birthday; well you get the gist of it, friends and family were impressed with everything I created. That’s when my mom said, “You know we can really make something out of this” and the rest is history. Now, Easy Basic Creations has become a way of supporting our family, having a creative outlet, and teaching my son that with hard work and faith anything is possible!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Easy Basic Creations was born over a kitchen counter-top, a few complaints, and many shared ideas. The question that came to our minds was, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could make some extra money and built something great?” And so, it began. What to sell? Who to sell to? How to sell? How to come up with the money? And slowly, little by little, it all came together. It is truly a blessing being able to create beautiful items for our customer’s special moments in life. At Easy Basic Creations, customer service is our highest priority. We try our very best to give customers the finest products by using the best quality materials and we are always perfecting our techniques to deliver beautiful products at competitive prices.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Miami is a city full of wonder and excitement. There is always something to do and someone to see but there is a place that I hold very dear to my heart and that’s Crêpe Connection Café. My husband and I have been going to this mom-and-pop café since we started dating. Crêpe Connection is not just a place to eat but a home away from home. The moment you walk into the café you can instantly smell the fresh coffee and delicious crepes. Gleny the owner has really made it her mission to set a cozy atmosphere for customers to enjoy their food and let their hair down. This place is a must-try gem. Absolutely amazing! Another place that comes to my mind is late nights with my family at Casola’s Pizzeria & Sub Shop. This is the best pizza in Miami. I have been coming there since the mid 2000’s. The pizza slices are massive and taste amazing! It didn’t matter where we lived, what we were doing or the time. My father would gather the whole family and we would take a trip down to Casola’s because at the end of the day a good slice of pizza is something that is meant to be shared with friends and family. Plus, who doesn’t like a good slice of pizza? Well, now you know what I like to eat. For endless activities this is no better place than going to Miami Beach. Where roller-skating along the sidewalk, white sand beaches, tropical cocktails, Latin music and art deco buildings galore. The possibility are endless, you can take a walk down Ocean Drive and see all the art deco architecture. Marked by their iconic bright colors, from pastel blues and pinks, to vibrant oranges and yellows. From there you can hop on over to the beach where there is plenty of space to toss down a towel and enjoy the sunshine. In the morning you can enjoy the beaches, and in the evenings it’s one of the best places to experience the nightlife or have dinner under the starry night on one of the many terraces that surround Miami Beach.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The person that I would like to dedicate this shoutout to and deserves credit for the start of Easy Basic Creations is my remarkable mother Rayda. If it wasn’t for her relentless tenacity, we wouldn’t be where we are with our company. Also, it is thanks to her that I became the daughter, mother, wife, and women that I am today.
