Find me on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok (and Pinterest too!)

Left Grain started as a creative outlet from the regular 8-5 work/parenting grind. I started using the laser at the maker space in our local public library and fell in love with it. I purchased one in 2020 and the rest is history!

WHAT WE DO

• Left Grain items are all designed in house and unique to our shop.
• We make and manufacture almost everything in house.
• We specialize in leather goods as well as other custom engraved items.
• We love to design for small & big businesses. Creating products that meed the needs of your company and customers is where we thrive!

The name Left Grain™ comes from my love of hardwoods/wood grain, and my husband and I are both lefties. He's a maker too and occasionally adds things to the shop in his free time.

Leather has become my main focus after learning more about it over the last few years. Each piece is cut and engraved on the laser, hand dyed and sealed. I also love making items from wood and acrylic. If it's beautiful, quirky, and meaningful, it's my jam.

I love working with others and creating memorable, meaningful gifts that help people laugh, cry, remember, and connect.

I design and make everything in our home. Professionally, I have a degree in Computer Graphics with an emphasis in graphic design from Purdue. I have been a professional photographer since the early 2000s and I sell patterns on spoonflower - creating art in some capacity is essential for me.

Please reach out with any questions! I love connecting with people.
