Kelsey Powless had never touched, let alone operated, a power tool in her life but one day she found herself inspired by artworks that had been made with a scroll saw. That was the moment that changed everything for her. With a supportive family and the ability to learn from people who shared their techniques online, she dove right in and the rest is history!
She began creating signs for herself as a hobby but after sharing photos on her personal social media accounts of the pieces she had made, it wasn’t long before people started asking her to create custom signs for them too. With that, her entrepreneurial life as a custom signmaker began!
Her company has a very important mission too, which is “revitalizing Indigenous art and languages through handcrafted decor” so that’s a big focus in her work as well. She often includes words from Indigenous languages as well as Indigenous imagery in her pieces, helping to share her culture with everyone who sees and enjoys the signs she makes with such care.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Kelsey about how she initially developed this creative passion as a means of self-care, how it blossomed into a business, the power of community, and how she is revitalizing Indigenous art and languages through handcrafted decor.
