the west coast kraeers
Address
I am Shelana and together with my amazing husband Kevin we make the west coast kraeers! While planning our wedding we were frantically looking for the perfect design elements and nothing seemed quite right. After days spent scouring the internet for the perfect design, I was on the verge of tears when it dawned on me...I was engaged to a graphic designer! An hour after handing him a poorly scribbled idea on a piece of scratch paper, Kevin created exactly what I was looking for. I just needed to polish it up a little bit to take it over the edge, which is where our tagline Made With Love (from Kevin) and a Bit of Black Girl Magic (from me) comes from! The handcrafted touch of our wedding made it a memorable night for everyone involved and was featured (more because of the brilliant photography of Rachel Stelter) on the Martha Stewart Weddings blog! During the pandemic (booo) I started increasing the scope of what I could make and I am coming up with new things every day.
We live in Santa Monica, California with our adorable miniature pincher Chase Muttley, a wonderful but equally cranky teenager Tristan, and our cutest collaboration to date a little baby Eloise.
