Why Work With Us

At Pela we believe in the power of community, which not only includes our customer base but our artists as well.  Our community plays a role in our product from purchase all the way back to the concept design of our products, which is where you come in.  

Using the inspirational design work of our artists, we create products that tell a story, help a cause and most importantly, make a positive impact on our environment.
 

Who You Are

You recycle, make conscious purchases and seeing litter on the beach/street drives you up the wall! When you're not setting up your home compost, or refilling your coffee in a reusable cup, you're creating art.  Masterful paintings, graphic design or just doodling at your desk.
