Hey there, welcome to MANDEKO!
Where creativity meets good vibes and every piece tells a story.
OUR MISSION
We’re all about making meaningful, soulful things that feel like you. Whether you’re marking a big life moment or just adding some magic to your space.
OUR PASSION
It all started with a love for design, and the beauty of personal expression. Now, years later, we’re still crafting, designing, and packing each order with care (and probably a little classic rock music playing in the background).
MEET THE TEAM
We're Sabine and Gary, two creatives with a passion for design, and the creative forces behind MANDEKO.
When we're not busy being creative we love to go windsurfing and camping. Sabine really "digs" (get it?) gardening, and Gary plays keyboards in a classic rock band.

Of course, we have a mascot!
"Ruby" is our 7 year old Tibetan Terrier and is responsible for keeping the office free of cookie crumbs, and making sure that all office visitors get a proper doggie welcome!
