Dustmade

Our Story

It’s humbling, really.

Every single bit of this sweet little life we live. Though some days are mundane and some days hectic, each time I sit to reflect on who we are and what we do and who we get to do it with, I feel as if I am in a dream. And here’s how it went: Fell in love with my honey. Blindly pursued art school because he said I could do it. Married that sweet, sweet man. Launched Dustmade online a few months later.

Dustmade began in our little half a house on Easy Street in Athens and moved with us to our hometown of Moultrie, Georgia where we ran it out of our garage. Soon after, we became the brick + mortar shop that is Dustmade Studio today - in a building that has been in our family for more than 30 years.

I started out designing and hand making jewelry: a total one-woman show from start to finish. Since our start, Dustmade now showcases handmade jewelry, fresh blooms, hand-thrown ceramics, watercolor beauties, and a curated section of intentionally-made home goods and gifts. I get to come to work everyday with the dream team and dance in creativity and design.
