About Us

Welcome to Inky Vagabond, where every t-shirt, sweatshirt, mug, and tumbler carries a story of creativity, faith, and compassion. Founded by Brenda, a lifelong artist with a boundless imagination, and now joined by her husband, Matt, a dedicated advocate for missions and discipleship, our shop is a reflection of our shared journey and heart for those in need. 

Our Story 
Brenda’s roots in Nebraska shaped her creative spirit. Raised as the youngest of six in humble circumstances, she turned sticks into wands and stones into treasures, weaving vibrant worlds from simple moments. Her passion for art evolved from painting to sewing, with each project a heartfelt expression of her soul.
Matt’s path was forged through determination and a deep commitment to serving others. His heart for missions ignited at Four Square Church and grew through college mission work. Over decades of marriage, he’s championed outreach at churches and now leads a weekly ministry in Phoenix, helping individuals transitioning back into society. Together with our adult sons and adopted daughter, we’ve served the homeless, driven by a shared calling to love and uplift.

Inky Vagabond: Creativity with Purpose
Inky Vagabond blends Brenda’s artistic vision with Matt’s passion for discipleship, creating designs that inspire and tell stories of hope. Each product is a canvas, crafted with care using AI and artisan techniques, merging innovation with heart. Our faith-inspired apparel, like our “Jesus is my Why” t-shirt, reflects our belief in living with purpose.
