Our Mission

Simply for a Smile is a family brand that started as small as a mustard seed of faith long ago. As the name suggests, Simply for a Smile was created out of our daily intention to find joy in the simple things. Now, it’s here to put a smile on your face when the daily do’s of life seem mundane or downright rough.

Through illustration, written and spoken words, Simply for a Smile is here to remind you of all the little joys that surround you every day. We desire to nurture gratitude, awareness, and encouragement in all who come across our work.We actively come against apathy and the seeds of fear, depression, and anxiety. Simply for a Smile brings you—and us—little reminders that we can, in fact, find blessings around us regardless of our circumstances. Bringing awareness to these things is our mission and we do all of this Simply for your Smile.

We love you,
Bhreon & Iviana Bynum
-Founders of Simply for a Smile

Meet the Founders

Iviana loves all things writing, poetry, and photography. She loves botanicals, nature, the peace of the outdoors, and the warmth that human connection brings. As a deep thinker, she uses her words to bring meaning, encouragement, and understanding to all walks of life. She’s also very technologically savvy, and handles the behind-the-scenes operations of the business. Anywhere you read words or see photos around here have been written by her.

Bhreon likes to draw everyday objects, situations, and human connection in his colorful, quirky, and bold style. His toolkit includes colored pencils, ink, watercolors, acrylics and an iPad. As an avid observer, his illustration work is inspired by his surroundings and interactions. An inventor at heart, he’s always coming up with new ideas and ways of doing everyday things. All of the illustrations at Simply for a Smile are done by him.
