Meet the Maker

Hi, I’m Sarah—the maker behind The Painted Pug. What started as a late-night creative escape turned into a thriving handmade brand filled with fun, meaningful jewelry and giftable goods. Every piece is designed and handmade right here in Illinois with care (and often a little pug supervision from Jax & Gracie 🐾). Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone special, I hope our pieces add a little joy to your day.
