Founded by Kei Tsuzuki and Molly Luethi in 2010, our studio has always been a vehicle to create meaningful jobs for immigrants and refugees in our community. With over 30 combined years working in the non-profit sector in women’s economic development and education, Kei & Molly were determined to show how a for-profit business could be sustainable and fueled by human-centered values. Molly retired at the end of 2023, leaving Kei with her amazing staff to keep moving the vision and mission of the studio forward.
OUR STAFF
Today, our staff consists of trained artisans, immigrants, and refugees from around the world, working together in craft and production, screen-printing each design by hand to service orders from stores nationwide. Through Kei & Molly Textiles, they find a secure job, paying good wages, with support in health and education, and opportunities for leadership and personal development. Working together, regardless of our nationality, religion, or spoken language, we are reminded daily how we are connected in our humanity.
