As a lifelong lover of all stationery and paper goods, Katrina grew up hoarding (ironic choice of words, if you know her personally) stacks and stacks of writing papers, envelopes, notebooks, and stickers. She’d collect said stationery from her local Sanrio shops and during trips she took with her family back to the Philippines. What started as a childhood hobby, with no (real) intention of becoming her profession, became a dream realized after a career that originally began in the tech industry. Now, she is thrilled to spend her days creating and sharing her love of design with others through Goods Gang. Katrina currently resides in the Bay Area, California, with Sean (her hubs), Raye (her cute demon spawn), and Etta→ (their big doge). At any given moment, you’ll likely find her glued to her computer, planning and organizing things, or eating.

Sustainability
We care about the planet (I mean, we do live here) but are light years from carbon neutral. And yet, as a tiny business (just me), we’re still making an effort and doing our absolute best to reduce waste.
⏺ The paper we source from various reputable mills are made from recycled materials and comply with various green measures, and themselves are fully recyclable.
⏺ Our line of greeting cards was born in an effort to utilize any unused materials from our custom orders. Most of our card designs only use leftover stock.
⏺ All of our external packaging (boxes and tape) are fully recyclable and / or compostable.
⏺ All of our packaging stuffing is recycled or repurposed material. Confetti stuffing is made from shredded test prints and other unusable product. Paper or bubble wrap stuffing is reused from packages sent to us for orders we place for materials.
⏺ Any branded collateral is printed on leftover materials.
⏺ Orders we place for materials are done so in smaller and more manageable quantities, so we may limit inventory.
