Joelle Medici and Emily Doyle are the creative minds behind Mr. Sogs Creatures, which was established in 2007. Working together, the sisters dedicate their time to create unique, one of a kind products for kids and adults alike. All of the plush toys are cut, machine-sewn by hand, then finished off with hand stitching. Every creature is machine washable and features safety eyes, which allows children of all ages to enjoy because they eyes are securely fastened with a washer/clamp device on the back of each eye.

At the age of 9, Scotty learned to sew from his grandmother. This began his love of all things vintage and an appreciation for fine craft. In 2020, he began designing his own textiles, pairing his screen prints with his own textile designs. The images are my interpretation of mid-century pop culture in the atomic age.
