About Us
Our Story
At Zen Designs Arts & Crafts (Zen Designs LLC), we believe that every heart holds a spark of creativity waiting to ignite. We’re not just a store; we’re a haven for dreamers, a sanctuary for makers, and a launchpad for artistic expression. We’re a family of passionate artisans and creators, united by the belief that the world needs more beauty, more handcrafted magic, and more opportunities to connect with the joy of creation. We began in our kitchen during quarantine when Ruth began crafting with her kids and sharing the art with friends. At their suggestion, she began selling her art and in June 2023, opening our first booth at a vintage art market. We have since grown into a vibrant community of diverse artisans, fueled by the shared passion for bringing art into everyday life.
Our goal is to find and support as many artisans as possible from different cultures, backgrounds, and techniques/products. We are always getting new trials in and adding to our offerings, constantly seeking new makers to partner with.
Find us at local markets like Mulberry Market in the Empire Mall, and online on our website, Etsy, and Amazon. We hope to add more market places in future.
