In 2000, Jenny Mangun & RJ Porter were greatly inspired by a little pink bike from the 80's: Sweet Thunder. They decided to create a company based on designing all things whimsical, childlike, & fun. Jenny's background in sculpture, painting, & video echo in her line of intricate, organic, & textured jewelry. RJ's photography & graphic design background create ornately collaged cards & custom invitations, from found objects, fabrics, & vintage vignettes.
