Who is Engineerista's Art?
In a nutshell I am an Air Force Veteran, Mom, wife, motorcycle rider, engineer and a fulltime construction Project Manager. My life is hectic, but I love it. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, and have two crazy boys that run the show at home. 

Why did I start Engineerista's Art?
The shop started in Etsy, where I had a few friends and family in healthcare and saw there was a need for ear savers during the start of COVID. I was working fulltime with kids home with me and I needed something to take a break from it all, while also finding some way to help out those I love in the frontline. I played around, made my first ear savers with crocheted yarn and buttons, and Engineerista's Art was born. It quickly grew and I found a new passion, running a business, using the same skills used every day as a Project Manager. From there, I started to make more complicated products and found joy and an escape making products that give people comfort and happiness

​What are my goals?
 To grow my business to make my items more accessible while using sustainably sourced supplies. At this time, most of my work is made from synthetic yarn due to the lower cost, but I am quickly finding new sources to instead use natural fibers such as merino, alpaca and more.

Engineerista's Art's Hopes
I hope with your purchase you will be reminded of the soft and warm comforts of home and it brings you joy as you wear them out in the wild! If you do not feel this, let me know and I'll happily help you achieve it.
