Founder Spotlights: Women Reimagining Wellness

De Soi was founded by Katy Perry and Morgan McLachlan, two creative women and busy moms, who wanted a more intentional approach to happy hour. With a shared love for botanical flavor and feel-good rituals, they set out to craft alcohol-free aperitifs that are bold, bubbly, and rooted in botanicals. Their mission: offer a drink that feels celebratory without sacrificing presence, clarity, or the next morning’s early start.

Maude was created by Éva Goicochea, whose career in healthcare policy and modern consumer brands revealed one truth: the sexual wellness aisle was overdue for change. She built Maude to redefine intimacy with simplicity, inclusivity, and beautifully designed essentials that feel as good as they look. In 2020, actor Dakota Johnson joined as Co-Creative Director, helping champion Maude’s vision for modern, accessible intimacy for all.
