Our Story
On December 22, 2009 McKinney “Stiles” Robinson was born with Down Syndrome. She lives in a quaint coastal town in South Georgia, St Simons Island. The small community has been so supportive of Stiles and her family throughout the years. She started early intervention therapy at 6 weeks old and currently receives private Speech and Occupational therapies in addition to her school services.
Her parents, Jennifer & Stan Robinson, found support from other families who had children with Down Syndrome. One specific memory was from a mom who encouraged them to expose Stiles to the same activities and experiences they had with their 2 older children. They did just that despite developmental delays, Stiles has proven that her Abilities are far greater than her Disabilities.
The beautiful thing about Stiles is that she doesn’t see limitations in her life. She works hard to reach her goals and has a very positive outlook on life. Her days aren’t just “good” according to her, they are “great!”
She is living her best life in middle school as a cheerleader and a basketball player for the Glynn Middle Hurricanes. Aside from sports she has a passion for singing, dancing and acting. In the Summer of 2023, she starred as Young Simba in the Golden Isles Penguin Project performance of Lion King Jr. She is a member of the middle school chorus and this Christmas will sing in the Christmas Cantata with the Chancel Choir at her church.
The idea of Love Up was planted in her mom’s heart years ago as she desired to have a family business where Stiles could play an active role. This past year Stiles told her mom she wanted to get a job and the timing seemed perfect to take action. To know Stiles is to feel LOVE on a level that lifts you UP and their desire was to share that LOVE with others.
Stiles started the brand design by drawing a heart with an up arrow on a piece of paper to look like the heart had 47 stitches to symbolize her 47 chromosomes. The initial brand prototypes were hand embroidered hearts on the front of sweatshirts with various inspirational messages on the back. Stiles is playing an active role and is super excited to share her brand with others. You will get to experience her Limitless Love and watch her take advantage of Unlimited Possibilities!
