The Story

Hey, I’m Jed! Thanks for stopping by to check out my stickers!

I grew up in Ken Caryl, ColoRADo and currently live just a few miles away in Highlands Ranch  with my wife and three kids. Life is bonkers, but life is RAD.

I’ve been an artist my entire life, and started on a professional photographer journey almost 20 years ago. Before that, I studied graphic design and have had a continued love for drawing, painting and woodworking. Oh, and even in my mid 40’s, my continued love for stickers hasn’t faded either!

The concept for Lemonade Stand Stickers was born recently on a family hike near Grand Lake, ColoRADo. We stopped for a water break, and our middle kiddo was having some minor patience issues with me pulling the water bottle out of my back pack. As I probably often do, I said “dude, chill out!”. It just so happened that another dad was passing us on the trail with his young daughter and overheard me. He turned his head and chuckled as he clearly related and knew exactly what was going down. As we continued on up the trail, my wife asked me if I saw him turn and laugh at what I said. It was then that I thought to myself “us parents have a lot in common when it comes to raising kids and it’s important to remember that. I’ll bet if I made a sticker that says ‘dude, chill out’ other parents would relate and perhaps want to buy one for themselves or a friend to slap on a water bottle or beer fridge”. I told my wife about it, and for the rest of the hike I couldn’t stop thinking of the numerous quirky quotes that I could design and put on stickers. Quotes that not only parents could relate to, but ones that each and every one of us could relate to and hopefully spread more smiles and good vibes along the way. Quotes that would remind us all just how RAD life is even when it gets super hard, and that we’re all in this together. That there’s still a lot of good in this world if we just look for it and choose love. We all know it’s true… sometimes all it takes to completely turn our day around is a simple smile or encouraging word. I truly believe that something as small as a sticker can have the same impact in our life.

Lemonade stands should remind us all of our childhood and the goodness that comes from those simplistic memories and innocence. This sticker company started in the most unexpected circumstance, and since that moment I haven’t been able to shake the desire to hand design these stickers right here in ColoRADo and turn this into something way bigger than just a sticker. Anything is possible, and my hope is that someday soon people around the country and even the world will be impacted and smile because of a Lemonade Stand Sticker.

So, thank you for the support and helping me spread love and camaRADerie one sticker at a time!
