Bio

Faythe Levine is the sole creative drive behind Flying Fish Design, a small indie company based out of Milwaukee, WI. Since 2002, Faythe has produced a wide range of work—all handmade—including plush novelties, postcard sets, accessories, and unique household items. Her art and illustrations have been commissioned by national recording artists such as the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s (Interscope), Pretty Girls Make Graves (Matador), and Call Me Lightning (Revelation).

Flying Fish Design is self distributed in over 30 retail locations including museum stores, galleries and boutique around the world. In 2005, Flying Fish was selected as Fred Flare’s “Next Big Thing”.

Faythe is a strong supporter of the indie craft scene, founding and organizing Art vs. Craft, Milwaukee’s hip art show. She also runs a brick and mortar shop in Milwaukee, which features exclusively independent artists, crafters and designers called the Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery. Her most recent project is producing and directing the Indie Craft Documentary.
