Our Mashable Plush Family is looking to grow with the addition of the Snurtle (snake + turtle) and the Cacthog (cactus + hedgehog).
Snurtle and Cactog - new plushies!
Squishable (yes THAT Squishable) has helped us bring our last FOUR plushies to life, and we've already begun developing these two new plushies. We have gone through the Planning & Prototype phases, which means the Snurtle and Cacthog are ready for Production!
All we need now is the funding to reach the factory's minimum inventory limit, as this cost is not something our small business can cover upfront. So, once again, we're turning to wonderful campaign funding platforms, like BackerKit, to engage with our community and try to make these new plushies a reality!

Meg (she/her) has been an artist and performer for her entire life. The 2020 pandemic forced her hand in making the decision to focus on just her artwork, instead of the dozens of other fun things she was involved in.
In the past 2 years, the Mashables brand has become larger and more life-changing than she could have ever foreseen. And this is just the beginning. With the tremendous help of her family and friends, she was able to plant the seed of Mashables and watch it blossom and flourish. This is no longer just a “side thing.” Meg is fully dedicated to making Mashables the successful, positivity-spreading, thought-provoking, fun-promoting entity that it is destined to be.
She is constantly in awe and humbled by the endless support of those around her, and is well aware that her success is fueled by the generosity of that community.
Her big picture goals are to have Mashables stores across the country, community-engaging workshops, and programs, and to be a strong example of how a business can be successful with a strong moral core and be responsible in both an environmental and a humanitarian sense.
This is the beginning of something larger than herself, and she’s thrilled to be a part of the ride.
ABOUT KAYLA
Kayla (she/her) is the left brain to Meg's right brain. Often referring to herself as the "wizard behind the curtain," she helps Meg with stuff like inventory management, web design, office organization, and any type-a drool-worthy tasks needed to run a business. Given that Kayla can barely draw a stick figure and Meg is an incredible artist - they make a perfect pair! Kayla is so incredibly proud of her best friend and is so thankful for the opportunity to utilize her professional toolkit to help Meg's Mashables grow.
With a career involving marketing, communication, social media, and page design, Kayla enjoys using her skillset to help artists and small businesses with more of the analytical and organizational sides of a business. If you need a beautiful spreadsheet organizing your entire life - she's your gal.
Outside of "work mode," Kayla is just a big-ol queer nerd who plays a lot of Dungeons & Dragons, reads a lot of books, drinks too much coffee, and just generally submerges herself in the world of pop culture.
