Our Mission
At QISA, our mission is two-fold
1. Disrupt the designer crafts market
Why?
Because crafts often tell of culture and heritage – two things we feel, and you might feel as well, are important to preserve and nurture.
In disrupting the designer crafts market - making it seen as cool, making it accessible and prized - we:
a) Help consumers make more mindful and meaningful consumption choices
b) Help society accept diversity – different looks, different stories, different techniques that can/should all be the standard of gold
c) Help makers and designers make a living and receive the recognition they deserve
2) Create a community, a movement if you will, of cultural savants and tastemakers
Why?
Because well, why not. Seth Godin said (and we paraphrase) that it is a tribe - not money, not factories - that change the world and align large groups of people. Imagine if we could change the way diversity is represented in luxury and design. Imagine if we could change the way diversity is represented in the world. Period.
Plus, imagine the fun we'd have.
