about us

In short - we're cool.

Dani and Natalia: using materials in ways nobody intended,
in order to solve problems nobody has.

***Note: this is not currently a safe distance, and we miss it.
Please be safe and healthy, everyone <3

Shamelessly

multi-cultural

multi-disciplinary

crafters and creatives

(recovering IT career hunters)

breaking out of the confines of that mentality:

"either you're techy+successful,
or you're creative+poor"

because both options are unhealthy, really.
