From a tiny shed with just some sheet metal and spray paint to a thriving home-based workshop, our journey is a testament to creativity, resilience, and a dash of ADHD magic.
Welcome to Art of Steel, where unconventional solutions and boundless imagination bring our creations to life.

Our Story
What began in 2015 in a shed with sheet metal, tin snips, and spray paint has blossomed into a dynamic business that reflects the perfect blend of art, engineering, and a refusal to grow up. Our journey started when we got married and decided to take a bold step, purchasing a less-than-ideal laser engraver. We operated out of our bedroom, with the engraver exhaust cleverly vented out the window, making the best use of the space we had.

Our Unique Blend
Our ADHD has been both a challenge and a superpower (kind of like that time we accidentally set the house on fire while manufacturing the board game that ADHD helped us create.) Jack’s craving for novelty drives us to constantly innovate, exploring new materials and techniques to develop fresh, exciting products. My (Elise) comfort in routine, on the other hand, allows me to maintain the steady aspects of our business—manufacturing, filling orders, restocking supplies, handling paperwork, and making sure the fire extinguishers are maintained. Together, we balance each other perfectly, turning our differences into strengths.

Our Growth
As our business grew, so did our workspace. From the bedroom to a dedicated workshop in our home, we’ve expanded our operations while raising our two wonderful children. Today, we are proud to run our business with the same passion and creativity that fueled our beginnings, now supported by more advanced tools and a more comfortable workspace.

Our Mission
In addition to Art of Steel, we started Creator’s Craft Crates where we make fun STEM Kits and hands-on physics curriculum. We hope that these tools will inspire kids to love science and making things as much as we do.
