Can you start by telling everyone what Crafty Loft Company is all about?

Crafty Loft offers a variety of customized printing and digital designs. The inspiration behind Crafty Loft comes from my love for art and design. In 2019 I attended college for Business Management. After I graduated, I had the idea to start a business doing something I loved, making things. I started Crafty Loft with barely any idea of what I was doing. I just had one goal: To help others remember their memories. Crafty Loft offers a large range of services such as engraving, vinyl heat transfer, permanent and removable vinyl decals, and sublimation products. We also offer select custom requests.

What made you want to take action against climate change?

After being in business for just over a year and keeping all my scrap materials, I realized I had a lot of waste that could end up in a landfill. I feel as though people could be turned off by my business because it can be viewed as not very sustainable as paper is one of my largest used supplies. I use four printers daily creating all my own tape, cards, stickers, etc. Because I use paper so much in my day-to-day operations, I wanted to start replacing what I am using. That is why I have parented with TreeEra to plant one tree for every order placed through Crafty Loft. I believe it is a step in the right direction.

I am continuing to try and create ways that Crafty Loft can reduce our footprint. Crafty Loft offer discounts on products that are created from recycled materials.

One of the best ways to encourage sustainable business practices is to vote with your dollar. Are there any other businesses that you think we should be putting our dollars towards?

There are a lot of community gardens where I live. There are tons of benefits to community gardens. I think they are a great idea and I would love to get more involved in doing what I can to support the companies that run the community gardens, such as non-profit organizations, clubs, and private landowners.
