Our Journey

I made my first fursuit In 2012 as a hobby project whilst working as an illustrator, I loved it so much, between then and 2016, I made 22 fursuits.

Then, In 2014 I also opened my first online store, selling a few of my pre-made toony base designs.

People seemed to enjoy these designs and the convenience of not having to carve their own foam, so I was able to start expanding my product range until it became my full-time business. 

my old workshop in my nanas garage

my early working process, using jigs and other hand crafted setups in order to make my products

My first professional setup was in my Grandmothers garage, which I refurbished into a suitable workspace. But I still had to share it with the utilities and an occasional flood.

And then, when I bought my first house, I also finally got my new workshop (Some assembly required)! a place I can truly call my own. It took about 6 months for me to do the building work to get up and working fully, whilst I still worked on orders and on my new house. But it came out better than I could have imagined. (You can see the results on my about page) 

a photo of me standing in my new workshop when it was still just a shed.

photo of my workshop before it was fully insulated. the wooden beams are visible and so is the concrete floor on the first picture. then, it shows how I insulated the floor with foam board, and used floor boards on top

photos of my workshop with insulation between the beams, and the wood effect vinyl floor installed.
