Kyrie Bushaw
Co-Founder, Project Coordinator, Designer, Communications Manager
As co-founder of Meshwork Press, Kyrie spends her time between marketing, event planning, running communications for hundreds of wholesale and retail buyers, and designing everything from systems that make the studio run more efficiently to fliers for their next market, pop-up or sale. She has spent over a decade working in the intersection of small business, design and communication helping to grow the visibility of dynamic businesses and brands and the hardworking, inspiring folks behind them.
Meshwork Press, a business that both runs day-to-day operations and nurtures the creative spirit of it’s community, was born out of Kyrie’s desire to inspire the upcoming generation because she believes the future will need creative thinkers, system designers and problem solvers from all walks of life to build the future we want. In addition to building out a wholesale line of over 200 items available in 400+ retail locations around the world, Kyrie has used Meshwork’s infrastructure to build mentorship relationships with local high schoolers, build and teach foundational design and branding curriculum and give creative young people the chance to tour the small business/maker ecosystem.
