In this episode of Tod Talks, Bill is joined by Natalie, founder of HT Mirrors—a brilliant small business creating bold, safe, and beautiful acrylic mirrors for kids’ bedrooms, nurseries, and sensory spaces.

Natalie shares how a DIY project for her son’s room sparked the idea, and how her background in psychology and neurodiversity informed the mission behind HT Mirrors. Each piece is hand-painted, built for durability, and made with child safety in mind.

They talk about mirror benefits for children’s emotional and cognitive development, custom designs (including glow-in-the-dark options!), and how Natalie balances parenthood, psychology, and entrepreneurship. If you’re a parent, nursery owner, or just love smart design with heart, this one’s for you.
