2013
Over ten years ago, Katie met Joe over coffee; a meeting about collaborating together on a project. Katie was a dancer, Joe was a filmmaker. It didn’t take long before these two kids wanted to spend every waking second together.
2018
The two married, lived in Austin, worked together creatively and also independently, Joe a creative freelancer and Katie a visual merchandiser. They soon decided to start their first little business venture; Calderon Creative - a creative marketing service that offered photo, video, and consulting services.
2019
Calderon Creative was thriving; incredible trips and even more incredible clients. Until, SURPRISE! Katie found out she was pregnant. With every intention on running the business out of their little one -bedroom apartment, Katie at 36 weeks pregnant said, “WE CAN’T DO THIS!” So, they moved back to their hometown; Houston.
2022
With a two year old in tow and a new life in Houston, Katie began to feel…sad. Missing her previous work life and needing some creative focus, she started 1218 Goods; her second little business venture. While the business started as a reselling business for the first year, it turned into a hands on, screenprinting and printmaking shop. And boy, was it fun. But, it was missing something very important; Joe.
2024
Fast forward to the start of 2024; 1218 Goods rebranded to Parker Goods. And here we are. Back at it. Working together, but this time, with two tiny baby girls. We really love our life, and our girls, and the things we make. And we really hope you will too. Welcome to the Parker Goods family.
