Our Story

We’re Mike and Brittni, a creative couple from Vancouver, Canada – husband and wife, best friends and business partners. After a few years pushing paper in the public sector, we felt a growing restlessness and discontent in our professional lives. Where did our work go once it disappeared into the ether – did it make a difference, did we matter? Outgrowing our habitat of windowless offices, we knew we needed to make a change. So we did!

We’ve chosen instead to build something of our own, where the outcomes of our hard work are tangible and rewarding. Designing minimalist WordPress themes for passionate entrepreneurs allows us to give back and enable others to create something of their own. We aim to craft themes that’ll help creatives stand out among a sea of sameness and get noticed; this is the driving force behind our work and the reason we spend countless hours perfecting every detail. Our goal has always been to make great web design accessible, not just to those who can afford it, but to anyone who has a vision and the guts to make it happen.

Hello


I am Rachel Phillimore, a textile artist living in Northumberland. My work is created using traditional techniques of hooky and proggy, with frames and hand-made tools. In this I am reinterpreting an old and traditional form – rug making, the staple of many a home across the north of England until a generation ago.
