Founded in the Grand Tetons of Wyoming and now settled in the Green Mountains of Vermont, Idle Hands Workshop is the professional and creative space of Mike Swanson.
MIKE SWANSON
When I’m not slinging emails and SMS through Klaviyo or talking shop about marketing, you’ll find me picking a guitar or outside adventuring with friends and family.
I am a rad dad to our sweet Sophia, dogfather to old man Otis, and husband to Kate, a kind soul and oh-so-talented designer and singer.
With these various side projects, I pay homage to the original Idle Hands Workshop - a small print shop founded in the 1990s by my late father-in-law, Roger. Operating from the family’s historic farmhouse in Fletcher, Vermont, Roger created custom card designs on recycled paper using a vintage printing press. He was also a rustic, soulful painter, music lover, and jack of all trades / master of none.
MY MAIN SQUEEZE
Idle Minds Design creates spaces that are a reflection of a life well lived.
