I am Jon, live in Ohio, am an artist and love creating beautiful pieces of art from writing instruments (functional pieces of art), websites, logos, graphics, illustrations, and fine art. One of my more recent discoveries is handcrafting fine writing instruments. I hope you can find your next personal writing instrument or gift for someone on my site. If you need custom work, we do that as well so please contact me. Thanks in advance for supporting my small business here in the USA.
SHEdesigns is a company in Nepal that we are partnering with this year. All of our pens sold from our website and at the pen shows will be wrapped in one of their beautiful pen wraps.
The vision for SHEdesigns began in 2015 when a cross cultural worker from the US moved to a remote village of Nepal. It was a region that was known for staggering poverty and human trafficking. An initial survey revealed multiple risk factors that perpetuated the issues villagers were facing. Partnering with a local non-profit, they established a sewing program which grew into the business that SHEDesigns is today. This small initiative has had a huge impact – not only for the ten women who have been empowered through employment there but for the entire community surrounding them who have been affected in ways that will benefit generations to come!
