About Us

Welcome to ANKIDEE

Welcome to ANKIDEE! We are a passionate team driven by a powerful story that fuels our mission. Our journey began after a life-altering experience when one of our co-owners, Kirsten, faced a near-fatal accident while cycling. This traumatic event not only changed her life but also ignited a spark of creativity and resilience in both her and her husband, Austin, who stood by her side throughout her recovery. And confirmed for them both that the challenges that come with healing and recovering can be overcome when supported by those that love you, even if they are from a different species like our family dog, Derby! 

During the long and challenging road to healing, we realized that adversity can lead to innovation. We transformed our struggles into a vision for a better future, focusing on creating products that are not only innovative, but also functional. Our innovative product solutions empower individuals to create, customize, and solve problems independently. Our goal is to create innovative products that provide convenience, organization, and fuel creativity. We cater to the Do It Yourself (DIY) mindset by offering:

• Ease of Use: Products that unlock your creativity, all skill levels welcome. 
• Convenience: Product solutions that are convenient to use.

Our company name, ANKIDEE stands for the following:

• A: Austin's
  
• N: And
• K: Kirsten's
• IDEE: German word for Idea. 

At ANKIDEE, we believe that every home deserves to be a sanctuary, and we are here to support you in making that happen. Our products will help you create it yourself, overcoming common challenges with solutions that fit your unique style. 

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, let's turn your home's challenges into opportunities, DIY-style! Create beautiful spaces filled with your unique love and inspiration!
