SauceBox Collective is a collaborative collection created by Kim Paserchia and Leanne Lujan. We both are creative in our own right. Kim is the brain child behind the graphics of SauceBox. In her every day job, she is a graphic designer for one of the “Big Five” publishing houses. She creates many of the prints and promotions you see put out by the publishing house that you never knew she was behind. She is a self described nerd for emo culture, popular culture, and dry sarcasm. Her introverted self doesn’t say much but when she does, it’s HILARIOUS!

My name is Leanne and I’m definitely the extroverted social butterfly. Kim is my sister and my best friend. We vibe off of each other a lot although I am a lot more talkative. I am a career esthetician and makeup artist with a sharp wit and love for all things business. I love pop culture, mom culture, and I fiercely advocate for autistics. I’m a mother of two “nearly feral” boys that keep me on my toes. A lot of my inspiration that I add to the collection is off of my daily grind with those high energy boys.

Quarantine was hard for us all, but it was out of our quarantine and sickness (yay Covid 🙄), we decided to put our creativity to good use. T-shirts were just the beginning. We expanded into tote bags, pins, keychains, and stickers. There will be so many other forms of every day swag down the pike. We are excited to bring our creativity to you and we promise not to be corny...unless it’s really funny. Some stuff will be nuanced and political. Some stuff will show our passion for human rights. Some stuff will be for autistics, some will support our care for planet earth. Not everything will be for everyone and that’s ok! There is plenty of room at the table for all kinds at SauceBox. We hope you enjoy this passion project as much as we do.

Thanks!

Your Sauciest Ones,

Leanne & Kim (Kimmy to some, Aunt Mickey to her nephews, the “favorite” to our Dad)
