Design Ninja, Cute Connoisseur, Dance Party Junky


S. Jane was created by Sarah Lomba, a 25 year old living in Oregon. Born and raised in a small shipbuilding town in coastal Maine, she went to art school where she developed a love for design and color. While in school she began creating promotional items for Flash Beagle - the band she started with her BFF - which led to all kinds of new crafty adventures. S. Jane is all about the things that Sarah loves; felt, gocco, crochet, animals doing people things, cute stuff and cookies. Oh, and dance parties. Sarah is always up for those!



Chef, People Meeter and General Scatterbrain


katrina zito is 26 years old and lives in wonderful portland oregon. When she is not cooking in at her favorite portland restaurant she spends her time at home being crazy. Currently she has discovered the fun in retro paint by numbers. She has also been enjoying wood cutting, embroidery, making fabric buttons, wet felting, sewing curtains, aprons and dresses, beading goddy necklaces, making cards and has most recently enjoyed hours of fun cutting up old dictionaries. She loves her cat juno and riding her bike. She can enjoy the occasional long walk on the beach and watching the sun rise. She is a sucker for most things in the shape of a square, suitcases, hat boxes, greeting cards, breadboxes, alarm clocks, picture frames, coasters, laundry baskets and rugs to name a few. She is very excited about being involved with the craft mafia and looks forward to meeting people who share her interests. She is the creator of mode noir, where she makes endless amounts of flower clips and uses her love of buttons to create beautiful colorful flowers for people to enjoy



Salmon Street Studio is the work of Michael and Gretchen Wooff. Michael silkscreened a Motorhead t-shirt in Grade 7 and waited a long time before learning to do it professionally. Gretchen has moved beyond the use of duct tape stencils and spray paint too! Our bold graphic designs are a mix of purchased, found and original artwork. We carefully hand pull each print on sweatshop free apparel for the whole family. We live and work in Portland, Oregon with our daughter, a dog and a cat.



Cate Anevski's head is filled to the brim with bizarre images. These images are inspired by dreams, books, movies, nature, her pets, and everything else she's ever seen. She decided to become an illustrator so that she could share these images with everyone, whether they want to see it or not.



Leah Pellegrini has worked as a full time artist for the past 7 years. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Leah found her love for working with glass while getting her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.
