Community Highlights: Meet Jessalyn Mendoza of Playground

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessalyn Mendoza.

Hi Jessalyn, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Being a mom, I was always on the hunt for the kid version of how I like to dress for my daughter, realizing that there wasn’t much out there that resonated. So, a year ago, I decided to take the risk and start my own kids’ line with a unique influence. 

I wanted to market to the parents who have ran into the same problems when it comes to shopping for their little ones. Bringing versatility and modernness to the table and away from the typical graphics and bright colors you see on kids’ clothing. Something that an adult would want for themselves and who would be able to relate more in the collections I create. 

This is a passion project for me, in hopes that others will see the vision I have for my kid’s brand, Playground. 

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The biggest obstacle was taking my idea and making it come to life, but once I took the risk, I just ran with it. Playground has been such a fun outlet to showcase my creativity and I am glad I took the leap of faith and launched it. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Playground?
Where style comes to play.
