4. FAQ- Who are you and what is shostudios?
I am the former designer and co-founder of Hex Keyboards. Having left the brand early this year, I have set up shostudios as a personal outlet to work on bringing my passion projects to life. - Will _____ color/wood/plate be available?
Unfortunately not. I will be working on fulfilment alone for these projects so I’d like to keep things simple by reducing the number of SKUs I'm offering. I will be releasing the plate and wood accent files towards the end of fulfilment. I may also add a raw case option if there is enough demand for it. Let me know in the form linked below. - Why the 100 units cap?
I will be working with limited space and manpower (my pair of hands) when it comes time for fulfilment. So even though I have 3 years of experience in keyboard fulfilment with my previous venture, I’d rather not stretch myself too thin. - Will you be engaging with any international vendors?
Not for this project.
