Schudio
How long have you been making your product?
We started our business in 2013 making cushions and accessories. Since then we have refined our homewares offering and have recently released our fashion range. How did you get started? We met studying Interior Design at Uni and always spoke of ‘one day’, making cushions and textiles featuring Kim’s artwork. In late 2012 Cass decided it was now or never, quitting her design and sales job she asked Kim if she was coming along for the ride. What is your greatest inspiration? We are inspired by ALL OF THE THINGS!!! No seriously, it is hard to pin point where our main inspiration comes from. Kim’s artwork is inspired by current trends, nature, graffiti and tattoo art… The inspiration for our products comes from soooo many places, we are inspired by interiors, colours, people, other designers and Australian businesses… What is the greatest challenge to owning and operating your own business? The most challenging aspect of owning our own business is being across ALL aspects of the business. We are but two humans who need to be able to design, create, photograph, market, advertise, manage accounts, liaise with customers, suppliers and stockists, manage social media and websites… you have a head ache now don’t you. What is the best thing about owning your own creative business? The absolute best thing about owning our own creative business is when someone purchases one of our creations. It doesn’t matter if it is a new release product or an old faithful. Each and every purchase makes all the designing, redesigning, tweaking and late nights 100% worth it. We love what we do and we are thrilled to bits when other people love it too. |
Hey, Cass and Kim here.
We are a couple of bright and crazy creatures who met studying Interior Design, and we have been inseparable ever since (like seriously, our studio is in Kim’s house, she can’t get rid of me). We are passionate about so many things and have made it our life’s work to bring these things to your home and wardrobe. We started Schudio as a way of making Kim’s incredible artwork available to the masses. By designing our own textiles we discovered that the possibilities were endless. Anywhere that fabric could be applied could feature a piece of art masterfully created by Kim. In the interest of good taste however, we have decided (finally) to focus on a few key pieces that are a MUST HAVE in every home and wardrobe. When designing these MUST HAVE items, we wanted to ensure that we were bringing the masses the most outstanding quality, increasing the longevity of the artwork. It is for this reason that we ALWAYS use Australian suppliers when sourcing our materials, we ALWAYS use natural fibres in our printed fabric and (because we are a couple of control freaks) we ALWAYS, make our creations ourselves. These values are non-negotiable and the reason why you will never find another product exactly like ours.
