Mind Your Monsters

It's Not Just About Design

The foundation of a Good business is sustainability. Growth is not limitless, so all the products from Mind Your Monsters are created with a core set of principles in mind:

Responsibly Sourced

Making things is a process wherin you obtain lots of bits and bobs made all over the world and combine them to create something special. At MYM we work obsessively to re-purpose whenever possible, and the rest of the time to prioritize suppliers with environmentally and/or socially beneficial practices.

What is a Sustainable Business?

Re-Purposed Packaging

Bubble mailers can't be recycled. Foil jewelry boxes and tiny fabric jewelry bags can't be recycled either. Therefore, at MYM all our packaging is made up of materials given a second life before they are recycled or thrown away.
When it comes to making the packaging we strive to employ people with disabilities that can't otherwise find work.

The Team

Sara Klips
The Mind Behind The Monsters
I didn't mean to own a small business, but I can't stop inventing things and this is (apparently) how you do that professionally.
Montgomery
The Dog
A melancholy rescue dog whose sole goal in life is to make it harder for Sara to get work done.
Magpie
23 lbs of Pure Destructive Power
Breaker of hearts. Destroyer of yards.
Perpetually enthusiastic rescue dog whose primary goal is stalking Monty. Thank goodness that she's cute.
Sara's Super Hero Alter-Ego
The Insect Educator
The only way to combat fear and disgust is through education. Therefore it's a joy to teach beetles that humans aren't as gross as they look.
