Original and custom apparel, gifts & gear for dog trainers, dog sports, dog lovers & more.
Character Study Studios started in late 2021 as a response to do “something creative” and – dare I say – fun, after years of owning and running my own dog-related businesses and a lifetime of helping people with their dogs.
I’d been exploring possibilities for about 2 years when I stumbled upon t-shirt designing after receiving an outdoorsy - and very cool - graphic sweatshirt for my birthday. I just happened to have accumulated quite a bit of graphic design skill over the years, and what followed was a “eureka” moment. This could be it!
After a couple of month researching in my free hours, I opened my Etsy shop, and I am so glad! I love designing, and I still get tickled pink every time someone tells me how much they or their loved one enjoys their new shirt.
But why should you shop at Character Study Studio? If you’re like me, and love items with character, if you’re more likely to blaze your own trail than follow the crowd, if you love finding unique, cool, clever items to bring home, then you might very well find a home here. Of course, if you love dogs and doing fun things with them, you should like it here.
But it’s not just the designs I think you’ll like. A huge part of my research (previous and ongoing) is into the best quality shirts for printing on, the best type of printing onto those shirts, the nicest color palettes, the most attractive and classic design styles. These shirts are not something to wear for a weekend and then get tossed in the donation bin! My aim is to make awesome designs on awesome shirts that you’ll love wearing for a long time into the future. (Am I weird that I tend to get attached to favorite shirts??)
And finally, but definitely not least, is how you’ll be treated. My customer service attitude is very simple: treat others as I would want to be treated. One human being to another. Everyone is an individual; no one is a number (or dollar sign).
So please check out my shop, browse around, and come back often! I list new things most days of the week at this point. And if you have a question or request, I am always ready to help if I can.
