I had just flown home to Portland, Oregon, water bottle in hand, covered in stickers I’d collected over the years. Each one reminded me of a moment, a place, or a friend.

That trip home to Portland was bittersweet. I had gone back to help my mom pack up the house I grew up in so she could move in with my grandmother and help care for her. It was a goodbye to old routines, to the walls where my height was still marked in pencil and frozen in time, to the place where we had celebrated and grieved and lived so many years of our lives together.

One afternoon, during a break from packing, we walked up Division Street, saying goodbye not just to the house, but to the neighborhood that had been home for so long. We tried to keep things light. We pointed out our favorite spots, laughed at old memories, and focused on the positives.

As we walked, reminiscing and joking the way we always do, the conversation turned to making something together. We wanted something we could come back to, especially when things felt uncertain. Somewhere along that walk, the idea of stickers surfaced. It was simple, but it felt right. Small pieces of art we could create side by side.

Stick With Me started as a way to stay connected, even when we were far apart. Something we could keep returning to, no matter where we were.

It was our way of turning a goodbye into a beginning.

Now Stick With Me Studios is a shared creative space, a collaboration built across seas and seasons. Our stickers are personal, playful, and sometimes a little ridiculous. They reflect the places we’ve been, the things we love, and the moments that stuck with us.

Whether it’s a joke that makes you laugh out loud or a reminder of home, we hope it sticks with you.
