Branch Collective began 10 years ago at our tiny dining room table!

We have moved quite a bit and my studio has had many iterations. I love that no matter where I am (whether a cold basement or a cozy attic), I will always make room to CREATE!

Scroll through these photos to see all my studio spaces over the last decade…

This month I am celebrating 10 years of Branch Collective!!

The whole idea behind the “collective” part of Branch Collective is that I’m not doing this alone… So shout out to these amazing people who helped shape this business since day one:

•My first online customer (and continued supporter!) Neil Caraker Multimedia

•My former boss who convinced me to start working with leather Tyler Geel

•My first ever retail partner (back when they owned an airstream pop-up shop in Portland) Brave Little Ones • Bamboo Pjs

•My forever friend and supporter Kacy Garner

•My husband - Thank you for supporting my dreams and convincing me I could be an entrepreneur Flying Fundamentals

•And thank you to my parents, for teaching me to work with my hands and for supporting me my entire life Chris Hay Dawn Hay
