On a beautiful spring day, Jessie walked into Mike's shop with a desire to learn the art of electro-forming: the process of “growing” metal on surface. Little did they know that this encounter would spark a marriage, a child and a creative partnership that would span many artistic mediums.

While their lives now revolve around their young son, they cherish their free time spent collaborating, designing, and constructing one-of-a-kind creations, ranging from sewing, screen printing, enameling, woodworking, metal fabrication, making cotton candy, engineering, populating circuit boards and even building captivating public art installations.

With a diverse range of skills at their disposal, Jessie and Mike thrive on the challenge of transforming their visions into tangible realities. Whether it's experimenting with new techniques or problem-solving, they revel in the creative process and continuously seek new ways to push the boundaries of their craft.

During the day, Mike dedicates his time to operating Holly Solar Products, a family-owned business that specializes in engineering and manufacturing LED lighting solutions. Committed to sustainability and driven by innovation, their primary goal is to deliver state-of-the-art lighting products that are energy efficient and environmentally conscious.

By combining his expertise in art, engineering and renewable energy, Mike and his team contribute to the advancement of sustainable lighting options for a greener future.

Jessie is a versatile designer, having spent the last 8 years crafting distinct and whimsical jewelry pieces for Far Fetched Jewelry/GreaterGood and developing custom prints and patterns for their apparel collections. Jessie now works for a local toy company, Sarah's Silks, as their Project Manager and Graphic Designer. She loves that she can build forts and create costumes and children's play items everyday.
