Meet Collect Pickups
Collect Pickups is a small creative shop that turns fandom into fine art, co-founded by two collectors as a way to share their passions with their newborn son.
They both remember growing up in an era where being labeled a “nerd” was not a compliment, and quickly realized that was a feeling they never wanted their child (or anyone) to have.
By starting Collect Pickups, they aim to be active contributors to positive change. This company is not just an art project, it’s a community—one that is accepting, jubilant, and unabashedly nerdy.
