About

At Left Grain, we believe the best gifts and keepsakes are the ones that feel personal, meaningful, and made to last. That’s why every piece we create—from leather patch hats to custom ornaments and accessories—is designed with care, handcrafted in our studio, and rooted in artistry.

Our work blends craftsmanship with creativity, offering unique, elevated designs that make everyday moments and big celebrations even more special. Whether you’re here for a sentimental gift, a bold statement piece, or something that just makes you smile, we’re honored to be a part of your story.

We keep things real—just like our materials. We use real leather, hand-drawn designs, and high-quality finishes to ensure every piece feels as good as it looks. And through it all, we aim to communicate with a friendly, approachable, and inspiring voice—because we want you to feel like you’ve found something truly special, made just for you.

Thanks for being here! We can’t wait to see what you’ll love.

LEFT GRAIN HISTORY - Left Handed Makers

Left Grain started as a creative outlet from the regular 8-5 work/parenting grind. I started using the laser at the maker space in our local public library and fell in love with it. I purchased one in 2020 and the rest is history!

WHAT WE DO

  • Left Grain items are all designed in house and unique to our shop.
  • We make and manufacture almost everything in house.
  • We specialize in leather & wooden goods as well as other custom engraved items.
  • We love to design for small & big businesses. Creating unique products that meet the needs of your company and customers is where we thrive!
  • Left Grain is a small, woman owned business located in Noblesville, Indiana.

The name Left Grain™ comes from my love of hardwoods/wood grain, and my husband and I are both lefties. He's a maker too and occasionally adds things to the shop in his free time.

I love working with others and creating memorable, meaningful gifts that help people laugh, cry, remember, and connect.

I design and make everything in our home. Professionally, I have a degree in Computer Graphics with an emphasis in graphic design from Purdue. I have been a professional photographer since the early 2000s and I sell patterns on spoonflower - creating art in some capacity is essential for me.

Please reach out with any questions! I love connecting with people.

Find me on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok (and Pinterest too!)

Hey there!
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m Kim, an artist, designer, and maker living in the Midwest with my sweet family. We’re lucky to call a cozy plot of land home—a place that backs up to a creek and has just enough woods to explore (but never get lost).

Left Grain grew from my love of creating meaningful, handcrafted pieces that spark connection, joy, and a little bit of curiosity. Whether it’s turning a sketch into a leather keepsake, designing playful gifts, or crafting custom pieces for special moments, I pour my heart into every project.

Design and product development are my true passions. I love the challenge of turning creative ideas into tangible items that are both beautiful and functional. From experimenting with materials like leather, wood, and acrylic to perfecting every detail of a product, I’m constantly inspired by the process of making something unique and special.

When I’m not in my home studio working on new designs or testing out creative ideas, you can find me enjoying nature, chasing after my kids, or finding inspiration in the everyday beauty around me.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something here that speaks to you or helps you celebrate the people and moments you love most.
