Designed by hand
Every layer, every rod, every cut — designed from scratch in our office. We don't license artwork and we don't copy. If it ships in a Spark Stack box, one of us created it from nothing.
Our Story
College Roomates. One garage. A workshop in Nashville.
How a side project in a Massachusetts garage became a four-person workshop building 3D wall art kits in Tennessee.
Chapter One
It started as a fun garage project.
In late 2023, Will designed, spray painted, and cut the first Spark Stack in his garage just to see if he could. He hung it on the wall. Friends saw it and asked where to buy one.
He made a few more, started an Instagram account, and sold them locally. Then the orders started coming from out of state — and the problem became obvious. A pre-assembled, multi-layered piece of acrylic art is brutal to ship. Boxes arrived dented. Layers shifted. Hours of work damaged in transit.
That's when the lightbulb went off.
"The kit was the product all along — we just didn't see it yet."
What changed everything was the question that kept coming back: Can I build it myself?
We'd been selling the wrong thing. People didn't want a finished piece on their wall. They wanted the satisfaction of putting it there themselves — the same satisfaction they remembered from Lego sets and treehouses. The kit was the product all along.
So we tore the whole thing down and rebuilt it.
Chapter Two
From four friends to a four-room shop.
Will's twin brother John joined first. He'd been writing software at college to help prepare tools for design and reliability — every kit was being assembled, packed, and shipped on a kitchen island, and that wasn't going to scale past a few dozen orders a week.
Aiden came next. He'd been Will's roommate at Queen's through four years of mechanical engineering. He took over design and prototyping. Half the catalog you see today started as one of his designs.
Andrew was the last to sign on. Economics graduate, also from Queen's. He moved to Nashville with a duffel bag and a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is still running operations today, with some improvements, of course.
The four of us split a 4,000 square foot warehouse just outside Nashville into four rooms: a print room for the UV-cured ink station, a cut room for the laser cutter, a packing room for orders, and a shared office where the designs get designed and our videos get shot.
We jump between rooms as orders flow in. There's no factory floor and no production manager — just four people who all know how to do every job in the shop.
The Workshop
Four rooms. Four people. Everything under one roof.
We don't outsource. We don't subcontract. Every Spark Stack is designed in our office, printed in our print room, cut on our laser, packed at our table, and shipped from our address.
If you ever want to see it in person, just email us. We mean it — we've had customers stop by on road trips, and we'll show you around the same way we'd show a new hire.
What we believe
Three rules we never break.
02
Made in the USA
Not because it's cheaper or easier. Because we want to stand behind every piece, control every detail, and play a small part in bringing manufacturing back home.
03
Built for builders
We don't sell finished art. We sell the experience of making something with your hands and seeing it on your wall an hour later. The kit is a vehicle for the build.
The Four of Us
Meet the team.
Three best friends from Queen's, plus a twin brother who managed to get a job.
Will
Founder & Designer
"I started in my garage selling finished pieces. Then people kept asking: can I build this myself? That's when the company changed."
I'm a mechanical engineering graduate who has always loved building and creating. After that question kept coming back, I realized the product was never just supposed to be the final piece on the wall — it was supposed to be the experience of making it. Most DIY kits feel childish and disposable. Most wall art feels mass-produced and lifeless. Spark Stack combines both: a hands-on build that ends in something you're genuinely proud to display. Every kit is designed in our Nashville workshop with one goal — to reconnect adults back to creating.
Aiden
Design
I graduated from Queen's University as a mechanical engineer, where I also met and became best friends with the rest of the team. Now I help handle the design and prototyping for every new Spark Stack release. I grew up just north of Toronto, always playing sports and building things, so getting to create with my hands every day is easily my favorite part of what I do here.
Andrew
Operations
Met my college best friends, turned business partners at Queen's University, where I studied Applied Economics. A few years later, I moved from Toronto to Nashville with a duffel bag, a laptop, and no real plan — just the chance to build something from the ground up. These days, I oversee operations, financials, fulfillment, and the supply chain, but the truth is we're a startup, so everyone does a bit of everything. Every day is a new opportunity to build, and I wouldn't trade it.
John
Tech & Systems
I'm Will's twin brother. In 2025, I graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, with a degree in Computer Engineering. I build the internal tools, software, and systems the workshop runs on. I write the code for our print queue, our cutter, and our order system — if you've ever bought a Spark Stack, my code touched it before it touched the laser.
Come see what we make
Ten designs. Ten chances to build something.
Every Spark Stack is designed, printed, cut, and packed by hand in our Nashville workshop. No factory. No middlemen. Just our hands building each kit before it ships to yours.
