Why Mossify?
Right after high school I started working as a head labourer and machine operator for a residential development company. I love construction but it really has a toll on the body. I developed back pain around 1 & 1/2 years into the job and my dad has always had a bad back so I wanted to develop something for back pain. Long story short, that startup didnt work out but I learned a TON of information. I worked with spine researchers/surgeons, sleep doctors and engineers.

Something stuck with me all that time and it was the amount of waste wood I would throw out almost on a daily basis.

An idea was born.
I was fixing something on my car fall of 2019. I had a wood block and my driveway and noticed a piece of moss on the wood block. I had an idea thinking it would be cool to carve out an image and put the moss inside. I got a hammer and chisel and made a couple designs, the first was the word "CREATE" and the second a moss heart.

In business.. I guess?
I didn't know a little piece of moss and wood together could take my imagination so far. I brought the Mossy Art inside the house and when people came over and visited, they wanted one! After I got a couple people asking me this I figured I'd do a little research in the garden space... and I really enjoyed it! I thought there was so much potential for a premium and beautifully branded line of products!

Mossify is born.
On May 18th 2020 a new company was born and ready to thrive! After Months of hard work we were ready to take on the world! At first we sold wood art, T shirts, Hats, hoodies, raw moss and a couple other items!
The invention of The Bendable Moss™ Pole.
I saw moss poles everywhere but I saw a huge problem. All of the moss poles are straight up. All plants dont grow straight 90°. During Covid, I was really into bonsai and I had this crazy idea. I want to make a Bendable Moss Pole™ so I can shape my plants like a bonsai! The GIF you see here is the very first prototype of the Bendable Moss Pole™.

-(May 2020 - Launched to public June 28th 2020)
Can't get enough!
Everyone really loved my invention! I couldn't handle everything myself so a couple buddies joined the team! We could not believe that people and their plants really loved the items we were making for them!
