Our Origin Story

 

In the summer of 2017, our friend, fellow artist, and fem-tor Dora Gomez-Lopez, owner of Dora’s Tiendita (check out her amazing art on Etsy and Instagram y’all! @dorastiendita), asked me if I ever thought about selling my greeting cards. This question, along with her support and guidance, motivated my wife, Amy, and I to launch CripFemmeCrafts. Since then, we have added pins, stickers, prints, totes, and t-shirts to our collection of handmade goodies.    

All of our art is original and handmade. I make the art and Amy (she speaks tech!) helps me digitize the pieces so that we can replicate them, a piece essential to what we do. CripFemmeCrafts wouldn’t exist without Amy’s love and support and without the encouragement of my fellow femmes of color. Most importantly, we would not exist without the amazing communities that sustains us. We are endlessly grateful and we are so glad that you are here. xo
