About Teska+Theodore

From the very first day I can remember, I've had a pencil in my hand. Growing up, I was one of those kids you could dump anywhere with a sheet of paper and I'd completely forget about the world. I found my first creative home in fashion design. But something kept tugging at me — this love for storytelling through colour and texture that felt bigger than what I was doing. So I took a leap and Teska+Theodore was born. I started small on Etsy with notebooks and downloadable art, hoping someone would connect with what I was making. And to be frank, the beginning was rough. Barely any visibility, hardly any sales. Just me, this nagging passion, and the stubborn belief that I was onto something—all while working a day job to keep my cat fed and the bills paid. But I kept going. Taught myself marketing and finance through late nights and a lot of trial and error. Slowly, things started clicking. One sale at a time, that scrappy little Etsy shop grew into the business Teska+Theodore is today  — bringing a little bit of cheerful optimism into homes all over the world.
