the first post

because it's 12:30 am and I have to be up in less than 7 hours, i will keep this short. we are dexterous design, cleverly named after our favorite little dog, dexter, whom i'm sure you will come to know. one of us in an aspiring ecologist, the other a graphic designer, and as far as we both could remember (and that's far, since we have been friends for almost 15 years) we have always used and enjoyed various forms of art as an outlet for creativity and relaxation. originally we began making the trinket boxes as personalized unique gifts for friends and family. eventually we ran out of people to make them for, so we decided to continue creating them and ended up with a surplus and no idea what to do with them; as we were both long term members of the buyer community on etsy, we decided to open up our own little shop in april 2010. we plan to use this as a space to blog about our own shop, our favorite etsy findings, and potentially update on day to day life.

goodnight,
