Founder's Story

About Me

Jennifer Antonellis, founder of Lemon Ducks

Hi, I'm Jennifer, and I'm so glad you're here.

If you had told me a few years ago that I'd be building a business, I probably would've laughed. For most of my life, I worked hard helping build someone else's dream. Owning a business never felt like something meant for me.

But life has a way of bringing unexpected twists. There was a season when I had to rediscover my own worth and realize that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is choose ourselves. That chapter reminded me we're capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for, and that it's never too late to start over. To me, that's a Lemon Ducks moment—a small decision that changes everything.

We all have those moments. Sometimes they're loud and worth celebrating with champagne. Sometimes they're quiet, known only to us. But every one of them deserves to be celebrated.

I've always loved people. One of my favorite things is hearing someone's story—what shaped them, what they've overcome, and what they're dreaming of next. Whether I've known you for years or just met you, I genuinely want to know you.

Outside of Lemon Ducks, you'll usually find me making martinis for friends on the deck, sitting by the water with my toes in the sand, watching a mama duck with her ducklings, or catching a sunrise or sunset. I run on Diet Coke, the occasional iced coffee, and the excitement of seeing good things happen to the people I love.

What brings me the most joy is celebrating the chapters people are writing—a new job, a first home, welcoming a baby, starting a business, or simply making it through a hard season. Those moments may seem small to someone else, but they can mean everything to the person living them.

That's really why I started Lemon Ducks. Not because I dreamed of owning a company, but because I wanted to build something that reminds us to celebrate each other a little more, slow down a little more, and hold onto the moments that become our favorite memories.

Thank you for being here. I hope Lemon Ducks makes you smile, reminds you to celebrate life's twists, and helps you recognize a few Lemon Ducks moments of your own.

And if our paths ever cross, I'd love to hear your story, too.

Cheers,

Jennifer Antonellis
