Alphabet Studios

Formerly called Gold Teeth Brooklyn, Alphabet Studios is a local screen-printing business that makes cards, jewelry, prints, and books through vibrant colors and playful design. The creative endeavor of Jesse Levison, the company is centered around throughtful palettes on small batch runs filled with humor, food, and joy. Each and every card is screen printed and folded by hand! There is nothing chemical in the making of these products. Jesse started printing cards in her kitchen while living in Brooklyn, New York but now lives here in Bellingham. One of our employees, Rae, also works in her studio! Rae just loves working there and says working with Jess is great fun while the local radio station KUGS plays and shop dog Scout makes sure everyone stops a moment for a biscuit—both human and canine.

Native Northwest’s story began over 40 years ago with a rack of postcards and the vision of building everyday connections to indigenous cultures. From sourcing and compensation of Indigenous artists to the staff and merchants, all are part of a lifelong relationship between Indigenous cultures and the communities that honor and respect them. Authenticity of art, design, and culture is the foundation of building everyday connections to Indigenous cultures. Native Northwest has funded 250 plus scholarships and awards at 20 partner colleges and universities. 100% of Native Northwest products are designed by Indigenous artists who have provided consent for their art. So as you drink out of a mug designed by Francis Horne Sr., Coast Salish or wear a hoodie designed by artist Ernest Swanson, Haida, you can honor the cultural traditions and the beautiful talent of these artists.

Have a wonderfully fun and safe summer!
