The creative mastermind behind this operation is Jennifer Refat, a seemingly quiet, mellow person. While no one is looking, she is brewing amazing projects behind the scenes in her underground, secret lair.
Jen's interests lie in technology, new up and coming political scandals which usually criss cross with tech trends, visiting haberdasheries in foreign countries, playing with buttons, yarn, felt, paper and partaking in daily, creative challenges.
In addition, Jen likes to walk around and try to find some adventure on the streets of New York. Every now and then, she'll go on a random trip and write a post about it in her blog.
The idea to create Mellowbeing's Shop came from trying to balance the virtual and the tangible. While being in an office with the strangest temperature control, she quickly learned that she needed something to keep her warm while typing away during a full day at work. And hence wristwarmers! Wristwarmers had been done but not in bright colors and different lengths. In order to get around this and to use up at least some of her button inventory, she decided to add buttons as functional closures for the wristwarmers. Several of these were produced until she realized that only so many people she knew didn't knit and liked wristwarmers. Hence, the shop was born.
She has ventured out to design some pins with funny/geeky sayings since she likes to think that she's clever and without question, quite the nerd (CS major..what do you expect?) There are some cool gadget cozies to keep iPods and phones safe from scratches. There are also some notecards with variations of the official Mellowbeing's Shop logo.
All in all, she's a pretty extraordinary person. And modest. Very, very modest ;)
Enough with the third person talk, just feel free to bug me if you have any questions about crafty, geeky or random stuff. Any inquiries about helping you create or redesign a website can be sent through the contact form on the lefthand column.
