Where are you from and how does that affect your work?

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so I’ve always felt like a true California girl. The culture here is laid-back and full of creatives and free-spirited people, which has definitely influenced my approach to Good Karma. I want my pieces to feel effortless—something you can throw on and instantly feel good in, no matter where you are.

How did you get your start?

I’ve always been entrepreneurial, but I never imagined I’d end up in fashion. Good Karma was born out of a gift—a beautiful Thai cotton dress, hand-embroidered with bright orange carrots, given to me by my dear friend, Nana. I wore it so much it literally fell apart.

At the time, I was new to sustainable fashion and didn’t know how to properly care for natural fibers. When I asked Nana to help me find another carrot dress, she couldn’t. These pieces weren’t mass-produced; they were never meant to be. And that realization sparked something in me.

With Nana’s help, I started reaching out to artisans in Thailand, sourcing handmade pieces to sell on Etsy. I started small—buying just five pieces at a time, waiting weeks for them to arrive, and wondering if they would ever sell. Slowly but surely, they did. Each positive review felt like a little push forward, proof that others saw the beauty in these pieces too.

Today, I source fabric directly from artisans in Jaipur, India, who carry on the centuries-old tradition of hand block printing using vegetable dyes, as well as makers in Thailand who weave the most beautiful, lightweight cotton, thoughtfully designed for their hot climate.

Who/what are your biggest artistic influences?

My biggest influences come from the deep-rooted textile traditions of Asia. I’m Korean myself, but I’ve always been fascinated by the art of Indian block printing, the softness of Thai stonewashed cotton, and what I like to call the East’s version of beachwear—flowy, modest silhouettes designed for hot weather.

What is the hardest part of your creation process?

Since I’m not a designer by trade, the hardest part is translating my ideas into real pieces. I question myself all the time—will people like this? Will they wear it? But I think that challenge is what makes this journey so rewarding. It pushes me creatively, and every piece that comes to life feels like a small victory.

What’s your favorite item that you’ve created, and why?

Right now, I’m really excited about the Summer Sweetheart Dress. It’s an Indian block print cotton mini dress with billowing sleeves, a lightweight cotton liner, and a tie in the front that you can style into a bow. And of course, it has pockets.

Pockets are a major win! What do you love most about Pasadena?

That’s a tough one, but I’d have to say the food. Pasadena has so many incredible restaurants, especially small businesses, packed into a small area. You can walk around Downtown Pasadena all day and find almost any type of cuisine you’re craving.

What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect?

I ride motorcycles and scuba dive.

Very cool! Where do you see yourself in five years?

I’m hoping Good Karma continues to grow, and I’ll be taking off too—on a lot of vacations.

Anything special you’d like to share?

Good Karma is truly a love project. It’s about creating clothing that feels good, does good, and honors the hands that make it. I wanted to create pieces that are accessible to everyone—not just in price, but in spirit. Clothes that carry meaning, that are thoughtfully crafted, and that celebrate tradition over mass production.

Our pieces aren’t made in factories. They’re crafted by Ban Chum Chn, Thai women who sew in the comfort of their communities. ‘Ban Chum Chn’ translates to ‘community housekeeper,’ a reflection of the rich tradition in Thai villages where older women gather to work together, support one another, and sustain their livelihoods. This is a way to honor their craft, their independence, and their way of life.

At its heart, Good Karma is for my grandmother. She raised me in handmade clothes, with unconditional love, and shaped me in ways I didn’t fully understand until now. This brand is my way of carrying forward her legacy—making clothes with care and sharing that love with the world.

Love all of that. Find Made By Good Karma at Jackalope Pasadena this April 26th & 27th at Central Park, Old Pasadena.

Lula Flores

Where are you from and how does that affect your work? 
I was born and raised in Chile and have been living in LA for most of my adult life. The myriad of cultures I’ve been exposed to and experienced have greatly influenced my artistic style and work.

What inspires you to create?
I draw upon my own life experiences for inspiration. Art has its own language and I express myself best through this medium. Whether I’m feeling sadness or anger, happiness or gratitude, or anything in between, my works depict a genuine and honest reflection of my inner self.

How do you define success as an artist?
The greatest sense of accomplishment I get is when I sign my name on the bottom of a newly finished creation. This means that I have succeeded in taking a mere idea in my head, taken it through all the trials and tribulations in physical form, and finally blessed it with the stamp of approval that signifies that this specific artistic journey has come to a glorious end. 

What is the hardest part of your creation process?
For me it’s finding true inspiration from my heart and soul. People might think artists and creatives in any field have a constant blooming field of ideas to pluck from, but that’s far from the truth. I don’t like to create out of necessity, but rather from a place of sincerity.

What’s your favorite item that you’ve created, and why? I'm very proud of this new "Journal Series" I've created.

Not only does this journal make my art more accessible to the masses, but people can easily carry and interact with it on a daily basis and make it their own.

What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect? 
I love to listen to great music and dance around while I paint! I usually work on several different pieces at once and find myself dancing from one to the next... usually when no one else is around! Lol! 

Love that! Find Lula Flores at Jackalope Pasadena this April 26th & 27th at Central Park, Old Pasadena.

Mandi with Tolly’s Treatments

Where are you from and how does that affect your work? 
I grew up and went to college in Minnesota, lived in San Francisco for a year, Colorado for a year, and now I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 15 years! I’ve learned a lot about myself and different lifestyles along the way, but being a Scandinavian from Minnesota mostly gave me dry skin and a kind attitude ;) I bring both of these things with me into formulating skincare and aromatherapy products!

Tell us how you got your start? 
I began making the Citrus Honey lip balm when Brian and I got married in 2012 (my last name became Tollefson, hence ‘Tollys’). I wanted a non-toxic lip balm for our wedding favors and it was hard to find! So I made my own. It was continually requested by friends and family and I became enthralled with learning how to formulate more and more non- toxic products.

I launched Tolly’s Treatments officially when I became a mother in 2016 in order to stay home with my baby and still have a creative outlet. In 2022, I became a Certified Organic Skincare Formulator and began creating the formulas and branding you see today!

That is so cool. What is the hardest part of your creation process? 
Formulating products is a science, as well as an art. It takes A LOT of trial and error, feedback, and perseverance. I have the hardest time with my patience for something to click - but when it does…it’s magic!! That’s what keeps me going

What’s your favorite item that you’ve created, and why?
I LOVE the Hydrating Skin Repair body butter - it’s almost like a cult classic at this point, ha. I’ve had it since the very, very beginning and my customers still keep coming back for it. It smells divine (no synthetic fragrances, of course!) and is the perfect consistency, plus very versatile - I made it as a pregnancy belly butter, but it’s extremely healing for scars, stretch marks, extra dry skin, etc. Of my new Mindful Beauty line, I love most the intention: gentle gel cleanser.

What do you love most about Pasadena?
There are so many things I love about Pasadena, but the people top it all!! Everyone is so kind and interesting to talk with, always. And the food, I love the food.

What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect? 
Before starting Tolly’s, I was working as a producer in live TV. Mostly award shows and live specials. I loved it, but I love this work even more!

Oh wow that is a surprise! Where do you see yourself in 5 years?   
This is a hard question for me because I’m in my era of working on Mindfulness and living each day - but I also believe in having goals and dreams! In 5 years, I see myself as a healthy, happy mom and business woman who is working every day at being better. I’d love for Tolly’s to be a full time income and generating profits that can do good for my family and community.

That is a great goal. Any advice for someone just starting their own business?
Keep learning. Always work on getting better at what you do. Be mindful of what resonates. It’s going to be soul crushing sometimes, but keep trying. It doesn’t have to be huge right away, gain knowledge and perspective and you’ll find the thing that works.

Great advice. Anything special you’d like to share?
I LOVE JACKALOPE! I am so happy to be part of the most awesome community of creatives and customers. I am forever grateful, thank you for this opportunity. Xo Mandi Tollefson

Justin with Wylies Wood and Leather

Where are you from and how does that affect your work? 
I lived in 13 different cities before the age of 18, all across the midwest, south, and East Coast. I grew up with one foot in the city and the other in small town USA; and the intertwining of these two walks of American life have absolutely defined my design and build sensibilities. To use an analogy, each handcrafted piece would fit perfectly within the city mouse’s lakeside, country home or in the country mouse’s New York City penthouse apartment. Everything is crafted to offer you a unique taste of subtle luxury, while feeling home-y and inviting.

Tell us how you got your start? 
I moved to Los Angeles twenty-five years ago and I spent the first three years working for an extremely talented contractor in Pasadena. I believe I’ve worked in nearly every home in San Marino and Pasadena. During that time I received an incredible education in electrical, plumbing, and all-things-handy-man. Most importantly, this job launched my curiosity for how things are made. During a nearly twenty-year career as a television producer, I took any opportunity I could to work with my hands and continue to expand my skills; like rebuilding a vintage motorcycle from the ground up because I wanted to know how engines work. I eventually found my true passion in woodworking and leather craft and the rest is (living) history. 

Very cool. What is the hardest part of your creation process? 
Splinters. Especially from Black Wenge wood. 

I would believe that. How do you define success as an artist?
My wife and our two daughters are everything to me. They are the biggest reason why I left a successful career as a producer. I want the three of them to know that healthiest (emotionally and mentally) version of me and I want to fill their lives with love and support. If I can show my daughters that starting a business of your own, and doing something that brings you absolute joy is possible, all while showing up as a strong, understanding, and deeply loving partner to my wife, is possible, than I sincerely believe I am the most successful person on Earth. 

Love that. What’s your favorite item that you’re created, and why?
The cornerstone to Wylie’s is The Wesley Chair. I love the piece for two reasons. Firstly, it is named after my oldest daughter. Secondly, it feels incredible to sit in.

Wesley Chair

What do you love most about Pasadena? Pasadena is so rich with history and art. The world’s greatest architects have built here, the greatest movie directors studied here, it is home to the most beautiful gardens in Southern California. It’s where Marty McFly and Doc Brown devised a way back to 1985 and it’s the home of Pie and Burger. 

What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect? 
I’m a trained classical singer. 

Oh very cool! Where do you see yourself in 5 years?   
I see myself doing what I am doing today (perhaps on a slightly bigger scale). I hope I’ll still be encouraging my daughters to chase their dreams and not work for someone else’s, and to be as in love with my wife as I am today. 

Mic drop! Anything special you’d like to share?  
I have an uncanny ability to eat lots of ice cream, too often.

Family Business! Founders (Tiffany, her mom and sister)

Where are you from and does that affect your work?  
I am originally from Shenzhen, China, and immigrated to the U.S. when I was 13 years old. My cultural background plays a big role in my designs, as I love incorporating elements of my Chinese heritage into our products. For the past three years, we’ve created a Lunar New Year collection, as well as an Asian food and fruit collection, both of which are inspired by my childhood memories, traditional symbols, and the vibrant colors of Chinese culture. Blending these influences allows me to create pieces that feel both nostalgic and fresh, celebrating the joy and playfulness of my heritage.

That is very cool and unique to you. Who/what are your biggest artistic influences?
My biggest artistic influence is Hayao Miyazaki. I grew up watching his films and have always been deeply inspired by his whimsical art style, rich storytelling, and the sense of wonder he creates in his worlds. I strive to bring that same sense of playfulness and magic into my own designs

What is the hardest part of your creation process?
The hardest part of my creation process is the design and prototyping phase. I usually start by sketching out ideas before turning them into digital illustrations, but I also have to consider how they will translate into physical product. This includes choosing the right colors, figuring out the best way to cut the acrylic, and ensuring the design is both visually appealing and functional. Each collection goes through multiple rounds of prototyping to perfect the colors, shapes, and overall look. Once this phase is complete, the rest of the process flows much more smoothly.

There is a lot of behind the scenes involved. What’s your favorite item that you’ve created, and why?
My favorite item we’ve created is definitely our animal portrait magnets and brooches. I’ve always loved the charm of vintage cottage-style gallery walls and wanted to bring that idea to life with my own designs. That’s how the Sunnie Farm collection was born—I imagined a whimsical farm where these animals live, each with their own unique personality. I designed their portraits as if they were meant to be hung in a cozy farmhouse, adding a playful and nostalgic touch to our collection.

What do you love most about Pasadena?
Pasadena has such a unique charm—its diverse community and rich artistic culture make it an inspiring place to be. The city is home to incredible art spaces like the Norton Simon Museum and the Huntington Library, and it hosts amazing yearly art events that bring creatives together. It’s a wonderful place for artists to share their work and for people to find inspiration.

What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect? 
In university, all my art classes were from 7-10 PM, so I naturally became a night owl when it comes to creating. Even now, I do my best design work late at night—it’s when I feel the most inspired and focused.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 
In five years, I hope to still be growing Sunnie Creative, expanding the business in a way that allows me to reach more people while also giving me more time for myself and my family. 

Any advice for someone just starting off on their own?  
My biggest piece of advice for someone just starting out is to strongly consider doing in-person events. They're an amazing way to test your products in real life, get immediate feedback, and really start building your brand's presence.

Love that. Anything special you’d like to share? 
We release a new collection every 1-2 months, and we’re always excited to share more fun, creative art with you! Stay tuned for fresh designs!

Armelle

Where are you from and does that affect your work?  
I was born and raised in France and after years in Germany, Switzerland and Ireland, I settled in Southern California. I speak three languages and worked as a translator and interpreter before crossing the pond to become a full time artist and muralist. 

Wow that is very impressive! Who/what are your biggest artistic influences? Giacometti and Brancusi's female bodies, Akseli Gallen-Kallela's snowy landscapes and absolutely everything by Vincent Van Gogh. I have the deepest connection to him.

What is the hardest part of your creation process? Remember that it always gets worse before it gets better.

That can be so true! What’s your favorite item that you’ve created, and why?
I am quite happy with the "SoCal Spirit" that I created at the start of my painting journey because I was able to pinpoint that effortless Southern California vibe that I felt when I moved here, with what was going to become my signature style.

SoCal Spirit

What do you love most about Pasadena?
The old town and the Huntington Gardens because they remind me of Europe.

What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect?
I am a creative cook and hate to follow a recipe! 

That takes talent! Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Visiting all the National Parks and painting everything I see.

Very fun. You have the day off, what do you do?
I sweat in a hot yoga class.

Do you have a story behind your company name?

I started my business in 2018 originally creating one of a kind merchandise for my husband, Chuck Negron, former lead singer for the band Three Dog Night, and expanded into merch for other 60’s bands.

So I called my brand Ami’s Rock N (Roll) Pop (Culture) Shop.

Very cool! How did you get started?

When the pandemic hit in 2020, my husband could no longer go out on concert tour due to his lung disease. I was his manager so that put us both out of work.

I took a virtual workshop from Martina the owner of My Creative Outlet in Chatsworth. She taught me how to make vintage style cone dolls using spun cotton heads, felt and cardboard cones. I had so much fun designing the dolls that I began looking for things I had around the house to make more. I put them in my Rock N Pop Shop on Etsy and my husband’s fans bought them up. 

Since I was looking for a way to replace our lost income, I needed to expand beyond my current market and I had the idea to upcycle lost and forgotten vintage doll heads in order to appeal to the vintage collectors on Instagram. My business blew up on Instagram live sales, and from there I moved into Youtube and eventually Whatnot. And this year I am finally able to come out into the real world to do in person markets.

Congratulations that is awesome! What is your favorite part of your maker process? 

My favorite part of the maker process is pairing bright colors and accessories to give each doll a unique personality.

What inspires you to create?

Bringing joy to others with my creations.

Tell us what a typical day is like for you in the studio? 

A typical day in the studio first involves me opening packages of new supplies, doll heads that I have curated, new fabrics for the cone bodies. Then I might prepare to make some of my original doll face designs on spun cotton by applying a base coat of paint. Then cover cones with fabric while those are drying. I do everything in batches so I have various stages of dolls in production all at once. I usually have a couple of my cats hanging out with me in my studio, and one that is always trying to steal my supplies.

Funny! What is your favorite item that you’re created, and why?

I have created thousands of art dolls in the last four years,  so it’s impossible to choose just one.

I have included pics of my original handpainted grinch, snow person and holiday bat.

What do you love most about Burbank?

What I love most about Burbank is the community of creative people. I also love the retro vibe. 

What will you be bringing to Jackalope?

I will be bringing my one of a kind holiday art dolls and ornaments. I specialize in Christmas and Halloween year round.

I hope to have some of my Kitschmas Hats and also plan to bring my popular Build a Doll Workshop to the festival where guests can choose their doll head, cone material and accessory and I create it live in person.

Tell us who you are and how you got your start?

I'm an illustrator in LA working in animation- I've probably designed that animated show you love! My favorite professional projects are Bobs Burgers and Over the Garden Wall. I wanted to branch out and start making my own brand of illustrated items and I'm loving the creative satisfaction.

I had been working designing characters and products for major companies (Disney, Cartoon Network, toy brands, Paul Frank) and I thought: I want to make my own merch! It was really empowering and creatively satisfying to make items inspired by all my favorite things. The best part is connecting with other people who want to geek out about the same stuff!

Very cool. What is your favorite part of your maker process?

I love taking a sketchbook doodle of something I think would make a fun pin design and turning it into production art and then having the physical item in hand within weeks. It's so fun to make wearable items: I think pins and patches are the funny T-shirts of today: a way to show your personality on your sleeve (or jacket, or hat, or backpack!)

What inspires you to create?

I make items that are inspired by all the things I love and think are fun: pop culture, music, scary movies, silly movies, animals, California and junk food! My art is bright, colorful and happy: I hope it makes you smile!

What’s a typical day like for you in the studio?

My full time job is art directing for a primetime animated TV series, so I make my personal art after work and on the weekends. It keeps me staying creative by constantly making stuff. The holiday season is definitely my busiest time of year as my pins and patches make great gifts!

Great stocking stuffers! What’s your favorite item that you’re created, and why?

I have two new tote bag designs debuting at Jackalope this year- I worked with a new production partner to make these and they are so much fun! I have one with a California Love theme and one with spooky Over the Garden Wall art. You can always use a nice tote bag at a craft fair to carry all your other purchases.

Very True! What do you love most about Burbank?

I worked at Cartoon Network for many years and I dig the vibe in downtown Burbank! There's always something fun going on and a big creative community to support it. Can't wait to see you!

What all will you be bringing to Jackalope?

I have a large collection of pins and patches as well as art prints, stationary, tote bags and greeting cards. Its fun! It's bright! It's happy! It's a whole vibe!

Anything special you’d like to share?

I love being a part of the Jackalope Fair! I've done other craft fairs and I think Jackalope really shines with the assortment of vendors and the organization of the show. I'm excited to see everyone out on San Fernando Road this December.

Do you have a story behind your company name?

TheLittleLabs was conceived as a space where big ideas could flourish in a playful and imaginative environment. The name reflects our belief that even in a small studio—or “little lab”—we can experiment, innovate, and create impactful work that resonates with audiences of all ages.

Love that! How did you get started?

Founded in 2016 by a husband-and-wife artist duo with years of experience at Disney, TheLittleLabs began as a passion project. Leveraging our backgrounds in animation and design, we started offering services in illustration, animation, and user experience design. As our client base grew, so did our team and the range of projects we took on.

What is your favorite part of your maker process?

Our favorite part is the creation and conceptual phase. This stage is an endless exploration of ideas, enhanced by collaboration with incredibly talented people. It’s where imagination knows no bounds, and we can truly innovate and experiment with different styles and mediums.

What inspires you to create?

From an early age, both Aradhana and Camilo, our founders, felt compelled to express themselves through art. They’re inspired by the challenge of distilling life experiences into simple, engaging stories for younger audiences. This passion drives our team to create work that’s not only visually appealing but also meaningful.

Tell us what a typical day is like in the studio?

Our day typically begins around 9 AM, following a good breakfast and a cup of coffee or tea. Aradhana, our lead, starts by meeting with the team to plan and prioritize upcoming tasks. The rest of the day is a blend of client meetings, collaborative sessions, and hands-on work with our illustration, animation, and design teams. The atmosphere is dynamic and collaborative.

Is there something that you love most about Burbank, especially with it being the media capital of the world?

Burbank is special to us—it’s where Aradhana and Camilo met and where TheLittleLabs had its first office on Olive Ave. The city has been the backdrop to many of our personal and professional milestones, making it an integral part of our story.

What will you be bringing to Jackalope?

We’ve always admired the Jackalope initiative and are excited to participate this year. We’ll be bringing some exclusive previews of our new side project, 'Cloudy and Friends' - a line of products aimed at kids 2-6 years old. We’re eager to connect with fellow creatives and attendees who share our passion for art and innovation.

Anything special you’d like to share?

We’re continuously evolving Cloudy and Friends, a project close to our hearts aimed at kids. Whenever we have time at the studio, we delve into developing this initiative further. We’re also proud to share that TheLittleLabs is a minority and woman-owned business, something that adds to the diverse perspectives and creativity we bring to our work.

Clara of Funky Gavroche

Do you have a story behind your company name?

The story behind the Funky Gavroche name is the story of a little, adventurous boy from the book “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo. I loved the character in the book, for his spirit of freedom and breaking the conventional rules, so when I started my small brand, I thought it could be a good representation for the artistic statement I was going for which was: artistic, free of rules and constraints, whimsical and creative.

Very fun. How did you get your start? I started Funky Gavroche back in 2010 when I became a mother for the first time. I have always loved to knit, I had learned to knit by my wonderful mom back in my home country, Romania, when I was just 12 years old. I’ve kept it as a hobby over the years and when I became a mother and decided to stay home with my boys, I wanted to keep my creative juices flowing, thus I’ve began designing and knitting children knitwear. As the years went by and my boys grew, I decided to continue my knitting endeavors by designing and knitting adult garments as well.

What inspires you to create?

In one word, ART! I love looking at paintings and other creative outlets that open new portals into my own imagination. I am a huge admirer of the DADA movements and surrealism as well as a Frida Khalo aficionada.

What is your favorite part of the maker process?

This question is hard to answer because I have more than one favorite part in my maker process. I LOVE the imaginative part of the process where I can visualize the garment I would like to knit, but I also LOVE the design process when I figure out textures, yarn weights and color combinations.

I bet there are so many options it is hard to narrow it down. Do you have a favorite item you have created?

I find hard to choose just one favorite item that I’ve created because I have so many designs I truly cherish and that have so many beautiful stories behind them. But there is ONE that I love a lot that blends in my love for drawing with the knitting process. It is a vest I designed and handknitted, and then I used the free form crochet technique for the appliqué on the back of the vest. The garment is called “Mirrored face” and it is truly a piece of wearable art.

So Fun! What is a typical day like in the studio for you?

I can’t say I have a typical day in the studio, but I try to have an artistic, creative day every day. I try to design and handknit two collections per year as well as custom orders and other fun inspirations that come to my head. I set aside a few hours every day to knit either custom orders that I need to fulfill, or just the designs I had already planned. On top of that, I try to stay active and engaged with my social media followers, creating content and prepping photoshoots.

What do you love most about Burbank?

Her favorite piece!

I love the vibrant artistic community in Burbank, where creativity thrives at every corner. It's a hub for filmmakers, animators, and artists, with studios and galleries that celebrate both established and emerging talents. The city's rich entertainment history, combined with its welcoming atmosphere, makes it a perfect place for artistic expression and collaboration. Whether strolling through the downtown area or attending local events, there's always a sense of inspiration and community that makes Burbank truly special.

Well said. What will you be bringing to the Downtown Burbank Winter Arts Festival?

I will bring a variety of handknitted items: from scarves to hats, and crocheted bucket hats, to cozy and fluffy sweaters, as well as cardigans, and knitwear for children.

Anything special you would like to add?

I would really like to say to all the people who will come to the Jackalope fair that supporting small businesses and artists is vital for building strong, vibrant communities. These local entrepreneurs and creatives bring unique products, services, and perspectives that enrich our everyday lives. By choosing to shop small or buy from independent artists, we help foster innovation, preserve culture, and keep local economies thriving. Our support allows them to continue pursuing their passions, while also ensuring that communities remain diverse and dynamic places to live and work.
