Lorrie Everitt

Make & Merry Co. is led by Lorrie Everitt, a passionate Creative Director & Graphic Artist during the day and a devoted DIY & Craft Enthusiast in her spare time. Lorrie finds joy in working with various mediums, drawing inspiration from both traditional and contemporary crafting techniques and equipment.

As an advocate for environmental consciousness, she utilizes felt in her DIY home décor projects due to its natural qualities, pleasing texture, and ease of use.

"I think that Makers need to be more aware about the materials that we are using and how our choices will affect the environment and our planet. It’s not just about reusing and re-purposing materials, it’s also about taking into consideration how and where our supplies are produced and so much more."
