The Story of StickPix


Built from Creativity. Driven by Family.

At StickPic™, entrepreneurship isn’t just something we do - it’s part of who we are. We're a family-powered business born from a love of creativity, celebration, and building something meaningful together.

Where It All Began

For over 20 years, my husband ran a successful party entertainment company as a balloon artist. I joined him seven years in, adding face painting to the mix, and together we helped bring joy to birthday parties, corporate events, and community celebrations across our area.

Around the same time, I launched my own business teaching survival swim lessons - a service I’m still proud to run today. Both ventures taught us the value of exceptional customer service, creative thinking, and the fulfillment that comes from building something from the ground up.

The Spark That Started StickPic™

As parents and entrepreneurs, we wanted to pass those same lessons on to our daughters. So, we created a business that lets us combine our creative energy with hands-on learning for our kids. Our goal? To either pass the torch to them or equip them with the tools and mindset to start something of their own.

The idea came during a seasonal break in my swim lesson schedule. Originally, we gave ourselves three months to launch - but when my husband's department was unexpectedly dissolved, we turned that timeline into one month. What followed was a whirlwind of late nights, product testing, and kitchen table brainstorms.

And then came the aha moment.

I’ve always loved Christmas cards, but hated how they end up in the trash after the holidays. What if the photo could stick around—literally? That idea led to our signature product: high-quality, keepsake photo magnets that combine the charm of seasonal cards with the staying power of something you’ll want to keep year-round.

The Name That Stuck

Finding a name was its own creative journey. After several rounds of brainstorming and design work, we gathered some friends for feedback over a glass of homemade wine. That’s when someone casually said, “That’s a cool stick pic,” and just like that -the StickPic™ name was born.

Today

We’re building our third small business together as a family and showing our daughters what it looks like to work hard, stay flexible, and take pride in what you create.

StickPic™ is more than a magnet - it’s a memory you, your loved ones, or your clients can hold onto. Whether you're sending a holiday card, celebrating a milestone, or gifting something a little more meaningful, our photo magnets are designed to create lasting memories, long after the gift-giving moment has passed.
