BEHIND THE BRAND

Makerware was initially inspired by our work as professional display artists with our company DUOFAB – making custom visual elements for commercial companies and high-end residential spaces. Our work with DUOFAB incorporates many inherently beautiful raw materials and this became an inspiration for a product line, Makerware. Our Makerware line is a collection of wearable items and home products (coming soon!) inspired by the artful raw materials from our installations, reinvisioned as retail products.

“The Makerware aesthetic revolves around minimalism + geometry. My ultimate goal with our wearable items is to challenge the standard look of jewelry design and materials used. My designs focus on unconventinal materials + processes to create a uniquely balanced line of jewelry. I love to use soft tactile cording in place of simple chains and dramatic hardwoods to juxtapose earthiness with shiny industrial metals.
These combinations is what makes designing exciting!”
