Sustainability

Nature being a key part of my studios name, and a huge source of inspiration for my work. I think it's only natural that it would also be something that I cherish and would want to protect.

When it comes to creating art, creating waste is unavoidable, but I am always striving to find ways to reduce, reuse, & recycle. I also believe in full transparency with my practices. I am always open to learning more, so if you have any tips or resources, please reach out anytime.

Sourcing and Quality

This history of the materials that come into the studio is just as important as what we choose to do with it. The majority of our products feature something upcycled — from our rescued blank shirts to the upcycled ethically sourced leather that we use for accessories.
Quality in work is another way we strive to be both ethical & sustainable. Creating work that’s high quality & devoid of errors is a way to ensure that it is long-lasting.

Printing

One of the many ways we combat waste in production is by handling the majority of printing services in-house. Again, we never use drop shipping methods. Everything is either pre-made or handmade within our shop here in Seattle, WA.

Because of our commitment to quality, we are very picky when it comes to who manufactures our stickers, keychains, and other odds & ends. We use StickerMule for these needs. Their stickers, for instance, are fade-resistant, water-resistant, and weather-resistant for up to 5 years.

In addition to this, we do low runs of less than 100 (generally 50) vinyl sticker prints of any design, and only 10 of each keychain. Many print shops offer incentives and discounts to larger orders, which is understandable to take advantage of. However, choosing to go with smaller print runs ensures quality control, inventory control, and waste management.
