It started as an art project…

In April 2024, I (Whitney) started creating wearable art as a creative outlet for building my personal style, and our style as a couple, beginning with hand-painted earrings.
Since then, I’ve explored other forms of wearable art, including linocut prints on repurposed apparel and handbags.
Meanwhile, Amanda has been creating clay and mosaic pieces by hand.
I (Whitney) utilized this project as a resource to deepen my understanding of the topics that inspire my work, as well as a business and branding project to deepen my knowledge as an art director and designer. This journey led me to create tools that help guide my broader thinking and creative process.
We share our creative process, topics on art & design, and craft tutorials.
Coming Soon to Craft Markets and Online!

Typefaces

"Inter" is a modern, sans-serif typeface featuring a clean, minimal aesthetic and provides a neutral and friendly look.

"Magic Ramen" is a playful, quirky, all-caps san-serif typeface characterized by unusual contrast between thick and thin strokes. I like the unique, handcrafted feel it gives.
