Meet Lydia Pierce of Geekster Pets.

Lydia is a geeky dog mom who loves to craft. With her love of animals, she’s filled her time with crafts/hobbies, and enjoys way too many fandoms/books/shows/movies/games to list out.

This is her story of Geekster Pets.

Geekster Pets: Geeky Bandanas For Your Pet

Lydia graduated from Texas Tech with degrees in English and Public Relations and her full-time job is marketing in the construction industry.

She joins us today to tell us her story of her local business. ⤵️

 

I brought my bordoodle Zuko home in Feb 2018 and quickly became obsessed with having him wear bandanas. I had a hard time finding bandanas with prints from shows/games/movies I loved (and my husband said I should cut back on all the bandanas I was buying) so I decided to start buying fabric and making my own! Geekster Pets is how I share these fun bandanas with other geeky pet lovers around the world.

 

What’s the one thing that your customers rave about?

The fun and unique patterns I offer. I’m always looking for new fabric to buy and have started designing some of my own fabric to have an even wider variety of fandoms/shows/movies/books/games represented.

 

What is the #1 challenge that your clients/customers have when they reach out to you?

Wanting to find ways to express their geekiness and individuality and combine it with the pets they love. I’ve had lots of people have custom requests for bandanas that I then try to find and/or design fabric for.

 

Did you always have a sense that you’d start your own business or a project of your own?

I have always enjoyed being busy and sharing my crafts/hobbies with others. I started another small business with a friend in college where we go to local comic and gaming conventions and sell pixel art we make with perler beads.

 

What does a typical day look like for you?

I go to work from 8am-4pm, workout in the office gym for an hour, then head home to cook dinner and play with my puppies. After that I hop right into making bandanas if I have any orders. On weekends, I may spend around 12 hours sewing all day if it’s a busy week. If I don’t have any orders, I enjoy walking my dogs, hosting board game nights, and playing video games.

 

Geekster Pets: Geeky Bandanas For Your Pet

 

I get so much joy from seeing happy pets around the world wearing my bandana. Getting pictures from my customers is definitely a highlight of any day, and I show two happy pet pictures for every product picture I share on social media.

 

What is an essential book that you you’ve enjoyed that you think everyone needs to read right away?

I recently read “How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back” and think it has a lot of great advice for women, whether you’re running your own business or part of an office environment.

 

Let’s transition to Dallas:

Geekster Pets: Geeky Bandanas For Your Pet

I love the Cidercade, Downtown Plano, and all of the fantastic dog parks! (We usually go to Windhaven Meadows, Jack Carter, and NorthBark.)

 

Over the past year, what addition to DFW do you just love?

Friend & Foe Board Game Cafe! I absolutely love the concept and they have been doing such a great job promoting board games in a friendly environment with good food.

 

Where would you like to have a staycation in the Dallas area? 

Oh, really anywhere! There’s so many great downtown areas, restaurants, museums, and events going on all the time. I’ve lived in DFW my whole life and haven’t even seen a fraction of what’s around here.
