Bio

Hi! My name is Anthony and I am a 24-year-old creativity enthusiast, artist, and graphic designer. While graphic design is my profession, creativity in all its forms is my first love.

Like many artists, I am a bit of a perfectionist and a procrastinator, therefore my ideas often sit around for ages in an unfinished stage, collecting dust in idea books and on napkins and post-its cluttering my desk space. This Etsy shop was partially developed to help me (and soon several others) realize a lot of these intentions and be the consistently creative person I aim to be. I suppose that this shop is a bit of a natural intersection between my art life and my business life.

Along the process of developing this space for myself, I realized that not only could I use this space for my own projects, but my close friends with creative ambitions and interests could also benefit from the store, so as I add my crafting friends to this collective, I will be able to offer a more extensive profile bio.

For the time being, all items are by myself, though the shop will retain its "Collective" status. I suppose I can call the creative voices in my own head a "collective" in their own right. :)

Many of my creative projects revolve around repurposing or upcycling-- taking unlikely items out of context or recycling items to produce something new and beautiful.

I am often inspired by nature, anatomy, vintage items, and odd juxtapositions... to name just a few!
