Welcome

Hi, I’m Justice!

I am Justice, nice to meet ya! I’m a fiber artist living in San Francisco, CA. I make fun, colorful, whimsical fiber art inspired by the awe-filled world around us. My creative practice, which is also my full-time job, is called Thread + Sprout. Thread + Sprout has always been about two things for me: sewing + growing. I have done a lot of sewing and a lot of growing in my life and I continue to do more every single day. This email love letter is a place for me to share more of both of those things and to explore more of what it means to be a creative human being with a tender heart.

I hope that it can be a place where I can also encourage you (whoever and wherever you may be) to find ways to expand your own creativity and capacity for compassion, whether it be for yourself or for others, as I explore my own creative and internal growth.

Whether or not you choose to be a paid subscriber, thank you so much for being here! I love what I do and love being able to share it with amazing people like you <3
