The Cordially Chaotic Collective was created at the intersection of many needs and wants. I needed a way to express myself and to provide for my family that didn’t conflict with me taking care of them. I wanted to make cool things, find a way to stability, and make a real impact in the lives around me. Becoming my own boss seemed like the only solution that would allow me to meet everyone where they were and still get my idea off the ground. 

A collective is a group of people who come together for a common purpose. While for now the brand is just one person, we are growing every day. Our goal is to be a market for independent artists to build a community with like-minded people and use our skills, talents, and passions to give back and make a real difference in the community.

Cordially Chaotic as a phrase comes from the way life happens around us all. Some may have everything in their façade perfectly poise, while others prefer to operate without one at all. Some of our lives just fall into place without much effort while others have enormous hurtles that they face alone.

To be cordial is to be polite, friendly, and inviting, whereas chaos is to be messy, out of control, maybe a little wild. They’re not necessarily opposites if you think about it, and you’ll find our brand right where those two concepts intersect.

As an inclusive, independent business, there are a few things that we will not negotiate about:

● Everything has been touched by humans. Every piece of art is made by a soul; digitally or with physical mediums. There will never be any A.I. art featured in any of our products. Even if that means crude stick drawings, the most you will see is AI mockups of art that we created and designed on the products we sell.

● We will never sell out to Corporate America. We are not interested in serving shareholders or investors. Our interests will always remain in making our community a better place through advocacy, research, and outreach.

● We will continue to grow and learn as long as we are a brand. This may mean adapting to future events, rebranding, awkward apology videos with ukuleles. Regardless of how we have to do it, we’re committed to staying humble and accountable.

● We’re committed to researching causes that we contribute to. No one likes to be burned, especially when it comes to something you work hard for every day. We promise to always thoroughly vet every organization or cause that we donate to.

● We promise to remain authentic. It’s incredibly easy to get lost in the noise of social media and public opinion. It’s our goal to remain true to ourselves throughout every rise and fall we will face as a company.

We care about humanity, the environment, and our communities. That will never change.

What makes us different from other brands is our drive. We’re not doing this to pad our pockets, we’re doing it so that you can feel good about what you consume. The thought and intention that goes into every product we sell is a reflection of the effort we put into making our communities a better place for everyone. You buying from us is a direct contribution to that effort. Whether you are supporting us, our causes or fundraisers, or just liked something we were selling, every ounce will never go unappreciated.

We are a brand for the weird, the loud, the dramatic, the whimsical people; for those told that they were too much or not enough and still managed to push through. You are seen here. Together, more things are possible than any of us can imagine.

Let’s start creating change collectively.
