more about justin
I started drawing when I was 4 years old making stick figure starships based on Star Trek. My father was a draftsman and he created an amazing portrait of the original Enterprise from Star Trek. That inspired me to reach his level of potential. During that time I have learned many skills, including Adobe Illustrator, which is very similar to the skills used by my father for drafting. I use this tool to make all of the patterns for our creations.
Art has always been one of my biggest passions. Having Hollie with me to share in that and run this shop has been a true gift.
skills:
Photoshop, Illustrator, vector graphics, laser cutting, leathercraft, painting, 3D printing, basic wood working, UX design, HTML, CSS, Javascript, WordPress, ServiceNow

More about Hollie
Hello and welcome to our little shop! I am a creator, an advocate, and a life-long learner. I grew up in an eclectic home that my mom filled with art and culture. She always encouraged me to pursue my creative passions through art and music, and to embrace the beauty in a wide variety of places and cultures. While my interests in life are always changing, the act of creation has always been my outlet for healing, growth, and empowerment. I am lucky and privileged to have connected with my partner, Justin, so we could take this journey together.
Whether you’re a professional artist or you just like to knit in your spare time, we all have a need to engage in creating something from nothing. I hope that our gifts and designs can inspire you to embrace something new and continue to create.
