Kasey makes stuff for people who believe in the magic of handmade goodness. She feels that slow-made, small-batch art created by humans is so important in our fast-paced, mass-produced world. Energized by creative experimentation, you’ll find her exploring multiple mediums. When working digitally, she incorporates hand-done elements into her graphic design and illustration work.

Lauren uses the pottery wheel with hand-building techniques to create her work. She has a loose, organic style which makes for pieces that are never quite the same. Lauren has a passion for sharing the peaceful act of making pottery and has goals to turn buyers into makers themselves at Dreamhouse Studios.

Meet the founder and lead designer behind Mod Bird Creative, a design studio that crafts one-of-a-kind visual identities for the food, beverage, and hospitality industry. Sophie is a designer with a playful, nostalgic bent, finding inspiration in vintage jazz, dinner parties, and facebook marketplace gems from yesteryear. She works closely with all Mod Bird clients to figure out the vision for their brand (even if they’re worried they don’t have one) and bring it to life.
When she’s not designing, you’ll find her scouring Zillow (for what, she’s not sure), devouring episodes of Armchair Expert, or trying out new restaurants in Savannah. She occasionally keeps up with the Kardashians, but you didn’t hear that from her.
Sophie holds a B.F.A. in graphic design from Savannah College of Art & Design, and she’s run Mod Bird since 2019.
