Kelly Rivas is the designer and creator of Moonfinder. Growing up in the wide-open spaces of Texas she developed a deep love of nature and the big night sky. Always being obsessed with the movements of the moon her folks nicknamed her Moonfinder. After receiving a fine arts degree she has pursued a life of creating and likes to challenge herself by learning new techniques and processes to incorporate into her work.

OUR PROCESS
Moonfinder started in 2017 with a laser cutting machine. This new technology quickly became a natural extension of our making process and allows us to experiment with a wide variety of materials, and to prototype our ideas quickly. It all begins with a simple idea which is developed, digitized, laser etched or cut; then each piece is assembled, sanded, dyed, and finished by hand. Everything is made in our humble Austin, TX studio.

SUSTAINABILITY
We care about our footprint and we feel that one of the best ways to prevent waste is to create beautiful, functional products that will last a long time. We strive to always use sustainably-harvested, natural materials and eco-friendly, safe for skin-and-hair finishes.
