Dream It and Do It...
Hello and welcome to the DeAmelijaStickers shop! We're so grateful to have you here, and we'd love to share our story with you.
Our journey began in 2019 when my daughter, Amelija, was diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of four. Initially, she used hearing aids, but they didn’t provide the expected results. In 2020, doctors confirmed that she had 90% hearing loss in her right ear. We were devastated and scared as a family, but we were also thankful when she finally received a cochlear implant.
However, the implant came in a plain beige color, and compared to her bright pink hearing aid, Amelija thought it was unattractive and refused to wear it. As parents, we’ll do anything to bring joy and well-being to our children, and that’s when we had the idea to decorate her implant with fun, colorful stickers.
I had experience creating custom vinyl labels, so I started making stickers for Amelija—featuring flower patterns, her favorite designs, and even her own artwork. Amelija loves to draw, and seeing her creations on her devices excited her even more. You'll also see her artwork, like the colorful watercolor dot design, in our business cards and sticker instructions. As a photographer, I enjoy turning photos into unique stickers as well, which you’ll see in our collections.
Since then, Amelija has never hesitated to wear her devices, and every time someone sees her cochlear implant, they compliment it and ask where they can get similar stickers. Their encouragement inspired me to open DeAmelijaStickers, to help not only my own daughter, but others as well.
In 2022, Amelija received her second cochlear implant, and she was truly happy because she knew that she could make her implant as colorful as she wanted, which also helped improve her hearing.
That’s why we firmly believe that in order to truly love the sounds of the world, you must first love your device. This is our vision here at DeAmelijaStickers, and we want to do this with you!
With love,
Amelija and her mom,
DeAmelijaStickers ❤️
