# **Meet the Artists**

### While it’s a short list to start,  we can’t wait to add more artists soon!

## Joshua Steely

**Founder, CEO**

Starting out, it’s just Josh! (That’s me!) 

Josh is currently running all logistics, marketing, sales, r&d, teaching, and whatever else the Crate needs. He’s looking forward to expanding the team as soon as he can! (He also really prefers writing in first person, but third person is “more professional” apparently.)

Josh specializes in 3-D cardboard art. His favorite tools are box cutters and hot glue.
