The story behind MiniPaddles
Hi, I’m Victor, the maker behind MiniPaddles!
I’ve always loved making things with my hands, whether that’s knitting, cooking, building something, or just experimenting with a new idea.
I’m also a little obsessed with pickleball. One day, just for fun, I decided to make a tiny version of my own paddle. I had so much fun making it, and even more fun carrying it around afterward. There was just something about having this little reminder of a sport I love hanging from my bag that made me happy.
So I started making more.
I began experimenting with different colors, patterns, and even other little uses, like magnets. Every MiniPaddle is something I design from scratch, test, and make by hand at home in Atlanta, GA. I love figuring out the tiny details and finding ways to make each one feel fun, colorful, and special.
MiniPaddles is my little creative corner where I get to combine my love of making things, designing things (I actually spent several years designing airplanes!), and pickleball.
I hope these tiny paddles bring you — or someone you love — a little bit of the same joy they brought me.
