My name is Manda. I’m a 24 year-old tinkerer from Minnesota. I’ve been making things since I can remember, from doodling on napkins, to making duck tape wallets, to getting hot glue stuck to my fingers. When I was 13, my sister taught me how to make a bag for school with moms sewing machine. I enjoyed the whole concept of building your own thing completely from scratch, I wanted to make more things! I started crafting heavily when I was 15. I experimented with fabrics like faux fur and fleece and made my first fursuit. I’ve been making costumes ever since. In 2020, I started making plushies as well. I now make more plushies than costumes! But I plan on changing that with more custom creatures! What will be next??

I enjoy doing restorations as well, on old bikes, sewing machines, and phonographs. I enjoy woodworking from time to time, making 45s boxes, but that’s a hobby…
