ABOUT COLLISIONWARE

Our story begins in 2008 when we stumbled upon the need for a cooler oven mitt...

Despite its practicality, the market lacked both appealing design and high-quality options for oven mitts.

This lightbulb moment led to the creation of an entire line of kitchen goods focused on whimsical and fun patterns made with top-notch materials.

About Angie

In the 80's

Angie's upbringing in the mountains of Northern Utah felt like growing up in a bustling craft studio. With her dad painting and her mom mastering everything from crochet to woodworking, art surrounded her.

Pearl Buck

While she didn't learn sewing directly from her great-grandma Pearl, a local sewing legend, Angie believes she inherited her talent. In fact, she proudly carries Pearl's name as her middle name.

Angie & Brent

Now settled in Portland, Oregon with her husband Brent and their dog Roadie, Angie's love for 90’s rock, tattoos, camping, and travel continues to shape her life.

For Angie, nothing beats starting her day with coffee and diving into her sewing machine.

Even after 15 years in the business, vibrant fabrics still excite her.

Sewing isn't just a job for Angie; her pup, Roadie, has taken on a few duties.
