Who I am
I’m a self-taught artist and maker in the fields of woodworking, leathercraft, silversmithing, and taxidermy. Though I have a background in digital art and animation, I’ve always had a hard time sitting still creatively. I found I’m happiest when I’m learning a new skill, experimenting with how something works, or figuring out how something is made.
This shop started from a few frustrations colliding at once. I was constantly searching for clothing, jewelry, and curiosities that matched the ideas in my head, but when I found something close (if at all), it was usually way outside my price range. At the same time, after spending years working in the video game industry, I realized I missed being able to physically hold the things I created. I wanted to make work that existed outside a screen.
For the past 10 years I sold through Etsy, where the shop earned over 900 sales and maintained a five-star rating across more than 1,000 reviews. Eventually, I honestly became frustrated with the increasing “pay-to-play” nature of large online marketplaces and decided it was time to build something more personal and independent.
A lot of my work pulls from darker aesthetics, old printmaking, folklore, protest art, horror, music culture, and handcrafted traditions. More recently, I’ve also started creating pieces tied to social issues and modern injustices. Both as a form of resistance and as a way to help support causes and communities I care deeply about.
Everything here is made, designed, curated, or finished by hand by me. With the belief that art should feel personal, imperfect, and unique.
