About

SQUUSHED was born in 2024 from a simple concept: the joy of bringing ideas to life. We love the process of a thought, a spark of inspiration, or an idea transforming into something real and tangible.

At SQUUSHED, we see creativity as a wonderful act of 'squushing' different elements together. It can come from anywhere and anyone - it's not just about picking up a pencil or a brush. Creativity is a blend of various elements: a mash-up of techniques, concepts, colours, environments, and seemingly contrasting ideas.

This very process of merging the unexpected gives rise to new forms of beauty and innovation. More than that, it's about embracing the unexpected, the playfulness, and sometimes, the mess that comes with creation.

Our business name isn't just a word – it's our guiding principle. SQUUSHED is a celebration of the power of combining the unexpected, the joy of seeing new and exciting connections emerge, and, most importantly, embracing the adventure of creation.

At SQUUSHED, we foster creativity and craftsmanship through our diverse in-house handmade products, thoughtfully curated designs, and engaging workshops. Our in-person classes inspire individuals to explore and master crafts, from bookbinding and leathercraft to keepsake and lampshade making. Each of our handmade items—a book, lampshade, box, or candle—is crafted meticulously in our studio, ensuring exceptional quality and unique beauty.

At SQUUSHED, we believe that creativity should be accessible to everyone. In addition to our handmade creations, we design a variety of printed items thoughtfully manufactured to complement our artistic vision. To further empower our community, we offer craft kits, how-to guides, and project templates that make creativity enjoyable for everyone, regardless of skill level.

SQUUSHED is committed to enriching lives by providing beautiful, high-quality items and empowering individuals to express their creativity. Through our harmonious blend of handmade artistry, curated selections, and educational opportunities, we strive to create a vibrant community where creativity thrives and meaningful connections are made.
