What your kid made. What your kid said.

We build heirloom pieces from both. The collages from the artwork you couldn't bring yourself to toss. The quote pieces from the line your kid said in the car that you still hear in your head.

Heirloom and playful, held in the same frame. Designed for the rooms where adults live.

Why this exists

There's a pile somewhere in your house. A bin in the closet, a folder on top of the fridge, a stack of 8.5×11s sliding off the corner of the kitchen counter. You can't toss it. You also can't hang it. So it sits.

Most of what gets built around that pile lands somewhere between scrapbook, photo book, and craft project. Flattened into a print, or turned into something that looks generic. None of it earns wall space in the rooms where adults live.

Pippy + Funk was built to fill that gap. A small studio that treats your kid's artwork like art and your kid's words like worth keeping.

The Studio

Lucy runs the studio out of Minneapolis. She's been making things her whole life, on paper, on canvas, on the back of the math homework.

Pippy + Funk started with a bin in her own house. Finger-painted suns, a lopsided dog, a cat with too many legs. All of it too good to keep in a bin, and too good to throw out.

Her kids were the first clients.
