About the Owner

My name is Aleczander (he/him) also known as Canoodles. founder/owner of Canoodles Knick-Knacks.

I am very community based with my business, I have done collaborations with Off the lake decor since 2023 and support our local pride societies! (Fraser valley/Chilliwack)

I live with EDS (type 1&3), heart problems (POTS), and I am Neurodiverse. when I became of legal working age I found it difficult to find a job due to my health issues. one day I had the idea “if no one wants to hire me why not create my own business?” and from that idea Canoodles Knick-Knacks was born. I decided to get an business education when I was in high-school and founded my business on July 17th 2020 after I graduated. I became an entrepreneur before the age of 20!

my goals for my business is to open my own art studio in the Fraser valley and get registered as an art therapy counselor, so I can help people express themselves and heal their inner child through creativity!
