MoopAndMooDesigns

Hi, I’m Sam. I’m the hands, heart, and slightly tangled yarn behind Moop & Moo Designs.

My love for making started young. I was the artsy kid who always had a pencil in one hand and yarn in the other. My great aunt taught me to crochet when I was seven, and by nine I was knitting with my best friend. That early passion for fiber arts stuck with me through the years.

In high school, I was part of the International Baccalaureate art program and had the chance to travel to Italy twice with my art history teacher. Being surrounded by centuries of art and culture shaped my creative perspective and deepened my love for visual storytelling. I went on to major in art history in college, where I kept learning, creating, and refining my eye.

After graduating, I launched a small business designing graphics for baby onesies. That experience gave me a crash course in Etsy, tradeshows, accounting, inventory, and all the moving parts of small business life. After several years of building and learning, I shifted gears to focus on my 9-to-5 career. Even then, I kept creating on the side, crocheting and designing just for fun.

Eventually, I noticed that crochet was becoming more visible and appreciated in pop culture. I saw an opportunity to share my love for the craft in a new way. I started designing logos and graphics that spoke directly to people like me—the crocheters, knitters, sewists, and yarn lovers who want to express their creative identity with pride. That was the beginning of Moop & Moo Designs.

Every item I make is inspired by the joy of creating and the incredible community of makers. Whether you're a hardcore yarn hoarder, a weekend hobbyist, or someone who just loves a cozy vibe and a clever design, you're welcome here.

Thanks for supporting handmade and being part of the Moop & Moo world.
