We're a working blend of mountain goat, t-rex and crow. We act from the gut. We live for each other and projects that take us into the deep end. We search for treasure in the weeds. We do what feels right. One of us can nap like no other. One of us can eat more than you'd guess. One of us wakes every morning around 3 a.m. with an answer and a question and the urge to pee.
We’re a team.

Tyler Hoffart
OWNER/FOUNDER/MOUNTAIN GOAT
Eventually I’ll evolve to my natural earthworm state, but for now I tend to enjoy cliff faces and eating things I probably shouldn’t. I can lift almost anything and/or will pop a circle trying. I overthink most designs and take forever and our labor numbers will forever be killing us. I pour everything I have into everything I make. I love a chinchilla and three dogs. Do you have any popcorn?

Marah Harings
OWNER/FOUNDER/T-REX
A tyranosaurus rex impersonating a chinchilla, Marah is the one who makes that delicious piece you always get compliments on when you're at a party. She owns the room – and the moon and the cookies and the bed and my eyes. She is whimsical, but wicked. Fierce and open. She's worshipped by a mini buffalo. She is the black rich soil within which all colors grow.

Nick Smith
ARTIST/CROW
Usually, when the old bird forgets his phone and schedule – it’s a strong sign that he’s just paying attention to something deeper.
Nicky sees behind the world. He not only finds treasure, he rescues it, like an old friend lost at sea. He walks around outside our silly boxes of category. He crafts in a soft way. A way that helps you see the hidden beauty all around. And he’ll find a god damn agate anywhere, but forget to text ya back.
