ABOUT
I’m here for the misfits, the bookworms, and the beautifully queer.
All of my products are love letters to the queer, the weird, and the wildly authentic. I design stationery and gifts for those of us who are tired of surface-level “inclusion,” who want more than bland, shallow token acknowledgement that doesn’t actually reflect their lived experiences. To put it simply: I’m a queer, neurospicy, nerdy human who makes stuff for other humans to celebrate their identities and find their people.
Design with a backbone.
We’re all tired of being pandered to with wishy-washy products that say nothing and offend no one. We want products that stand for something. I’m not here to slap a rainbow on something and call it a day - every design I create has guts. I pride myself on having something for YOU, the person who is rarely considered in big-wig advertising or by retail overlords. I pour my heart into every design because I know how important it is to feel seen. When you get something from Crafty Queer Studio, you’re not just buying a thing - you’re picking up a little piece of my weird, queer heart. And you’re helping me make space for all of us who deserve more.
From sassy stickers and pride pins to bookmarks and magnets, everything is crafted for those of us who know that subtlety is overrated and authenticity always hits. When you carry something that represents you, it becomes a signal to others like you. That's not just design – that's connection. And we all need more of that.
Created by a real human, not AI.
Every single design is created with heart by a real artist (me!) rather than churned out by a machine. Every line is drawn by my hand, every font thought through. I take immense pride in this; it is vital to me as a creative. When you purchase a CQS product, you are supporting a real person’s labor and talent - and that’s pretty fucking cool.
So here’s to you - the queers, the book lovers, the nerds, the weirdos, the beautifully complex humans who refuse to settle. This is all for you.
Love,
Alex (they/them)
