As a trained freight forwarding clerk, I worked until 2005 and was able to gain a lot of experience in international trade, etc.

After the birth of our first child in 2006, I had the idea to combine my creativity and business experience. This was the birth of Mein Wunschbild, owner-managed since 2006. Even then, the focus was on good design and high quality. We sold primarily online and at craft and arts and crafts fairs.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, trade fair business and demand for personalized text mounts gradually declined, so we decided to reorient ourselves. Since my husband, Marco, served in the German Navy for several years, we still had many contacts. Demand for merchandise products among the Bundeswehr and veterans is high, and so we quickly found our new line of business. Our many years of experience with personalized products played into our hands here.

In October 2020, Meine beste Zeit GmbH was founded with me, Cindy Rethorn, as managing partner.

The next milestone was the conversion and expansion of our barn with over 100 square meters additional to have enough space for goods and production.

In addition to Meine beste Zeit GmbH, we have founded other brands, including BARNBÖSSEL, BRNBL.de, and the MitarbeiterBoutique. This means that in addition to graphic designers, we also have media designers, etc., on our team. This keeps us at the cutting edge and allows us to make this expertise available to our customers.
