Our Story

Megan and family

Hi! I'm Megan

Mom of 3 and the creator of Collecting Joy. After stepping away from my 20-year career at Nordstrom, I wanted to build something that felt truly "me." So I combined what I know about great products with what I've learned as a busy mom trying to raise kind, motivated kids. Collecting Joy was created to share what I've learned (often the hard way!) to help make things easier for other families.

Why We Started

We've spent time over the years seeking professional guidance to understand why everyday tasks felt so overwhelming for our children. Through their advice, we quickly learned firsthand how powerful encouragement and positive reinforcement can be. We also learned how time-consuming it is to create and manage a reward system that actually works.

That's why we set out to simplify the process. Ready-to-use tools. High-quality, affordable treasures. Everything you need to celebrate everyday wins without spending hours building a system from scratch. Every item is thoughtfully chosen to spark joy, be worth working toward, and make life a little easier for families like ours.

What We Believe

We believe in celebrating progress over perfection while raising kind, confident, capable humans. Whether your family is working on potty training, brushing teeth, or just getting through the morning routine with less resistance and more willingness, our system is designed to meet you where you are.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst · Special Educator · 15+ Years Experience

I'm a behavior analyst with a deep love for helping all children thrive — and for supporting the parents who cheer them on every step of the way. I hold a Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis and bring a strong foundation in special education to everything I do.

"We don't change behavior by pushing against it. We change it by making the right choice feel rewarding."

Over 15 years, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of children and their families across a wide range of needs — from early intervention to school-age support. Reward systems have been a cornerstone of that work every step of the way.

Collecting Joy is the reward system I wished I'd had years ago. It takes everything that makes reward systems work — consistency, personalization, and visual excitement — and wraps it into something genuinely fun for kids and effortless for parents.
