The Person Behind the Rugs
A passion project that became a craft. A hobby that became a calling. One rug at a time.
I started tufting out of my basement with nothing more than a creative idea and the drive to build something of my own. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion after seeing how much personality and meaning a custom rug could bring into someone's space.
Every rug became more than just yarn and fabric — it became a piece of art tied to someone's favorite character, memory, design, or idea. Since starting, I've created over 100 handmade rugs while continuing to learn and improve my craft every single day.
Each rug is designed, tufted, carved, and finished by hand with careful attention to detail and quality. I believe handmade work should feel personal, unique, and built with pride.
My goal is to grow this business from a small basement operation into a full creative studio where people can not only order custom rugs, but eventually experience tufting classes and creativity firsthand. Supporting my business means supporting a dream that's being built one rug at a time, and I'm grateful for every person who chooses to be part of that journey.
