Hello - I'm Jess and this is Gogi! We are blessed to be living life in San Diego, California. As a child, I was fascinated by my mother's talents as a seamstress. I would hover over her shoulder and watch in awe as she effortlessly operated the sewing machine and transformed simple fabric and thread into stunning garments. Inheriting her creative and crafty genes, she passed on her skills to me by teaching me the art of sewing. This opened the doors to a world of artistic exploration, including drawing, painting, jewelry-making, clay sculpting, cross-stitching, and more.

In 2022, I finally took the leap and became a small business owner. My passion for crafting and love for dogs merged to create BARKS & CRAFTS, a small business that offers unique, handmade snap-on bandanas for pets.

I am so grateful to have pups from all across the country wearing pet bandanas that my mom and I created with our own two hands. Thank you for supporting and following along my small business journey!
