About Us

Based out of Nashville, Tennessee, Pattern & Paw is dedicated to creating and offering quality handcrafted pet accessories in unique and colorful designs at affordable prices.

Started in 2004, Lindsay Designs, as it was known at the time, became Pattern and Paw in Winter 2008.

So who is Lindsay anyway?

Lindsay is the designer and creator of all the items you see on this site. She is what you would call "crafty," having made everything from clay miniatures to jewelry, friendship bracelets to stationery. "My first 'big' project grew from a gag gift I gave to my mother when I was 13. As most mothers do, she was beginning to forget things, and always complained she was losing her marbles. So, I gave her a bag of marbles. (haha). My parents got overly excited at my overwhelming creativity and, to make a long story short, we went into mass production. We were convinced that "Losing Your Marbles" would be the next pet rock. No such luck. Our attic is still full to the brim with little bags of marbles."

Lindsay not only tried her hand at making just about everything, but she was always trying to pawn her crafts on other people for monetary compensation. "Every time I made something cool, I figured everyone should have one and I'd try to sell it. I even got busted once for selling my friendship bracelets on the elementary school playground. Parents were concerned why their kids weren't getting lunch... because they were using the money to buy things from me. Oops!" Nice going, Lindsay! Despite being busted, we're glad you continued to make stuff. The business ultimately grew out of that crafty aptitude.
