Our Story

Once upon a time—in former lives—Paul and Christy met on a commercial construction jobsite, where a shared work ethic and creative spark grew into a lasting partnership. As their lives and family evolved, so did a desire to build something rooted in creativity, craftsmanship, and storytelling. That journey eventually led to Q. Designz Collective—a space where past and present meet through art, vintage, and handmade expression.

About us

We’re a team of two vintage pickers with an artist’s eye, guided by curiosity and a love for creative expression. When we’re out picking, we’re not just hunting for vintage—we’re looking for pieces that spark something. Sometimes it’s a feeling; other times it’s the worn edges, unexpected colors, or quiet imperfections that speak to us the same way a blank canvas does.

As artists, we’re inspired by movement, layers, and emotion rather than rules. That way of seeing shapes everything we do—from how we select each piece to how we style, photograph, and occasionally transform it. Vintage and painting feed each other in our work: old forms inspire new ideas, and art gives familiar objects a fresh perspective.

Our work lives at the intersection of past and present—where nostalgia meets creativity. Whether an item remains exactly as we found it or becomes part of a new artistic expression, its story is always respected.

Every piece we share is chosen not for trends, but for connection. Whether you’re collecting, creating, or simply surrounding yourself with meaningful objects, our hope is that these pieces find a place in your story.

Thanks for being here and seeing beauty the way we do—imperfect, expressive, and full of life.
