Meet the makers

The idea got bigger than the button.

Max and Gus are brothers. In 2024 they set up a table at a fair with a button press and started selling buttons they made themselves.

How it started

A fair table and a button press

They wore white lab coats and called themselves buttonologists. Buttons were $2 each or three for $5. People can draw a design, use stickers, or even custom AI graphics, and watch it become a button.

From that first table, Buttonology grew into custom orders, a 250-button order for a business conference, and 1,300 buttons a year for another conference, two years running.

It is still the same idea it started as: bring an idea to the table, press it into a button, and wear your imagination.
