FKN Origin Story

FKN Pretty = Jenna & Joe, right down to our shared initials “JB” at the heart of our logo. It is impossible to define this incredibly small business without first saying who we are. 

WHAAAAZZZZUUUUUUPP!? Just a couple of nerds here who love making people laugh as much as we love each other. Equal parts perfectionist and procrastinators, we have a very hard time taking ourselves (or really anything) seriously. If you hadn't already noticed from our 2020 holiday card?  Spencer’s Gifts shopping, Hot Topic wearing kids who are technically all grown up now but not really sure what the hell that even means. 

Back in August 2017, trying our best to adult manifested into a beautifully custom designed "Shit Happens" sign for our guest bathroom for no other reason than it was fucking funny. We didn't know it then, but that piece of bathroom art would end up being the catalyst for FKN Pretty. 

After over 20 years of buffoonery together, we have learned that our favorite thing to do in life is laugh...and we have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy. Put those facts together along with our love for design and the idea for FKN Pretty’s signature classy crass was born. Thanks to Spoonflower & Cathy Heller's "Don't Keep Your Day Job" podcast for the tools and inspiration to get this dream off the ground! This is by no means our full time employment but it has been incredibly fulfilling to finally scratch this creative itch. 

We can fully admit that our designs are selfishly created to let us adult our own damn way. To remind us that life doesn't have to be so serious, that being different is more than just okay and that maturity is a farce. We are still those same alt kids but now with a touch of sophistication that matches where we are at in life. 

Our custom designed handmade fuckery is meant to make you smile, let you know that you aren’t alone and make adulting suck less ass! Why? Because life is short as hell, we are all in the mess together and laughter is truly a universal language.
