My name is Brigitte Massek and I am the creative mind behind Carabas Crafts and the illustrator, pattern designer and artisan in my small company.

I was born and raised in Salzburg in Austria. However, I currently live in the north of the state with my husband and young daughter.

During my school and university days, I repeatedly got to know new handicraft techniques such as knitting, crocheting, macrame, spinning and weaving, screen and linoleum printing and much more. I also took some art classes during this time.

I still love trying new things today and creating very individual gifts with my hands.
