Rachel Addison - CEO / Founder

Rachel Addison was originally inspired by her personal desire to preserve for her own children the traditional Latvian songs that her mother sang to her and now sings to Rachel's young girls, Arwen and Welahn. Rachel recorded her mother singing, and quickly realized that their situation is far from unique – millions of parents in the United States have family honored cultural traditions and songs they would love to reconnect with and pass on to their own children. Calling into service the Seattle audio / video production studio that she owns along with her husband Brin, along with her own expertise as a web designer and fine artist, Rachel officially founded Circletime LLC in Spring of 2007. Rachel, her husband Brin, 3-year old Arwen and 11-month old Welahn (her friends call her Willy) live in Seattle, Washington.
