Beth Snyder

All my life, I've been driven by my creative impulse to be a maker. As a teen in the mid-nineties, my first business "Beth's Bauble & Beads" was successful enough to put me through college, while my sisters both worked at the local truck stop (eventually they became a doctor and a lawyer). Between then and now, the great creative project of starting and growing a business has inspired multiple endeavors including my iconic stationery company 1canoe2, Hemlock Goods: a bandana company, and a couple of management companies to rule them all

Jill Shephard

I live in Lawrence, KS with my husband, Brian and our two girls, Mila & Brynlee. I was born and raised as a farmer’s daughter in a small town. That upbringing nourished my love of adventure and the outdoors, and later on my desire for entrepreneurship. I have been living out this dream of mine, growing Ruff House since 2009. It has come a long way in 11 years. From starting in a spare bedroom and printing in our garage, to moving all the equipment into our basement, to opening our beautiful downtown location and adding on the retail store in 2014. I find inspiration in everyday life - through my husband and our friendship, our kids and their laughter, the stationery industry and all the talented folks in it. I’m excited to work every day and it never seems to get old. I strive to work hard and make a positive impression on my daughters so they’ll learn the value of hard work and determination. The sky’s the limit. Lots of coffee, tears, laughter, and stress can create magical things. I always have something brewing
