We go looking for the things history almost forgot, and we bring them back.
In Norse mythology, Odin sends two ravens out across the world each dawn. One is Huginn — Thought. The other is Muninn — Memory. Every evening they return to whisper what they've seen. Odin feared, above all else, that Muninn might not come back.
We named our workshop after the raven of memory, because that's what we do: we go looking for the things history almost forgot, and we bring them back.
Muninn & Make is a small creative studio run by two people with complementary obsessions. Muse is a public historian, author, and former curator with a particular passion for the women and girls history has overlooked, the objects that carry their stories, and the museums that preserve them. She writes the history blog The BackStory and has spent her career finding the people who should have been in the textbooks.
Izzy is a gamer, dungeon master, painter and maker with a gift for transforming the ordinary into something you want to live with. His original spray-painted works — planets, cosmos, bold forms — share shelf space with designs sourced from the vast, extraordinary wealth of public domain art held in museum collections around the world.
Together, we make things that carry history lightly — wearable, usable, giftable, and worth knowing the story behind.
