Hi. I'm Cathy.

I’m a WERK in progress. If you are too, you’re in good company.

It’s a real mess out there these days, isn’t?

I’ve decided that the way I want to fight the brain-draining malaise of the modern era is with color, rebellious optimism, and the mighty pen in my hand. Everything I make, I think of how it can offer a little bit of healing in an insane world. I hope you feel it.

The opposite of war isn’t PEACE - It’s CREATION (IYKYK).

A Note on Logistics

I’m just one woman running all this. This is awesome, but it is also very challenging!

Because of this, I use a fulfillment company to create certain items. Each item is created on demand, which allows for less waste and also avoids me having to hold a huge amount of inventory in my NYC-sized apartment. I also create very small-batch categories of items by hand. I hope to shift this model as I grow, but I'm not there yet. See more details below.

Due to the on-demand nature of my work and the fact that I can't hold inventory, I am unable to accept returns at this time. All items are final sale.

Fabrication & Fulfillment Details

Tshirts/Mugs/Accessories

I create my designs by hand, either with my computer or with traditional media. (NOT with AI) I then work with fulfillment services to create professional-grade items that are shipped directly to you. This is noted anywhere it's being used on the product detail page.

Tracking is automatically provided and updated.

Jewelry
I design and assemble all my jewelry by hand. Beads are sourced from a variety of bead-making outlets except where I've noted that I've sculpted them by hand or 3D-printed them. I then ship them to you directly.

Brainy Figurines
Creating these figurines is a laborious, multi-step process by hand. It involves sculpting, baking, painting, sealing, wiring, adding magnets, curing, creating packaging and more.

Brainy's accessories and scenes are sourced from a variety of bead-making outlets and dollhouse suppliers. Currently I can only create these in micro-batches. Once created, I then ship them to you directly. Fulfillment can take around 6-8 weeks.
