Meet the Business Owner

Christen C.

Business Owner

Here’s the story in Christen’s own words:

«I was doing one of those work-​in-​England programs and I made a friend, Mark Pawson, who was making buttons in London (they call them badges over there). I told him, „No one’s making 1 inch buttons in The States anymore!“ So, he showed me the ropes. I came back with a plan to make buttons, but really decided to go for it when a band I had met in London, Guided By Voices, told me they’d be my first customers if I did. So, I figured it was destiny. After I got the machine, I photocopied a few postcards and sent them off to labels in my record collection. That’s how we got a lot of the customers we still have to this day.»
