Andrea Karmazyn

My name is Andrea, and I am the creator behind a sustainable, vibrant line of upcycled home decor, accessories and art. I specialize in transforming second-hand items like figurines, wooden decor, and leather bags into one-of-a-kind works of art. As a graphic designer and former art teacher, I combine my love of design with my passion for thrifting and creating bright, bold, and colorful pieces that bring new life to forgotten objects.
The process begins with careful sourcing of second-hand goods, primarily from local thrift stores, flea markets, and estate sales. Each item I choose is meticulously cleaned and prepped to ensure it's ready for transformation. I then paint each piece using high-quality, artist-grade acrylic paints, which I apply in layers to create vibrant, lasting color. For leather items like bags, I use paints designed specifically for leather, allowing me to create unique designs that are durable and beautiful.
In addition to hand painted art, I love to work with fiber arts. I have a collection of colorful pom pom earrings and am starting to dabble in punch needle/tufting as well!
I am a passionate lettering artist and illustrator- I’ve turned my designs into stickers and prints.
I love to create bold, colorful pieces that add character and energy to people’s homes and wardrobes, all while championing sustainability and supporting a circular economy.
