About Craftinglove
Our Team – The Craftinglovers 💛
Welcome to Craftinglove! Here we introduce you to the heart and soul of our company – the team that works every day with passion, creativity, and a lot of heart to make Craftinglove what it is. 💖
Jenni – Founder of Craftinglove
The story of Craftinglove started with a find on Instagram during the first lockdown.
Jenni, who was working as a freelance lighting designer for theatre and bands at the time, came across the fascinating craft of rug tufting.
After waiting months for materials from the USA, she quickly fell in love with tufting and decided to share her passion and teach others how to make their own rugs. That's how Craftinglove was born. 🧶
Since then, Jenni has taught over 500 people how to tuft – in the studio and at other workshops.
She's the driving force behind all the workshops and design decisions. 💪
Björn – The Tech Brain 🖥️
As Jenni's husband and our IT specialist, Björn makes sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.
He's also the reason Craftinglove exists in the first place! 💻 He had the idea to start an online shop with just a few products.
Back then, he had no idea that today we'd be offering over 800 products in our Swiss store for your creative projects!
Lara – Our In-House Graphic Designer and Workshop Helper
Lara was originally a participant in a trial workshop at Craftinglove.
Just a week later, they were already helping with bigger workshops and they're now our first part-time workshop assistant. 💪🏻
They've also made a name for themself as our in-house graphic designer, designing the new Craftinglove logo.
You'll meet them in our workshops, at trade fairs, or browsing through our online shop!

Fabienne – Our Tufting and Anime Projects Expert
Fabienne is a Tuftinglover from the very beginning! They took Jenni's first workshop and were so into it that they filled up their car with all the tufting materials right after. 🚗
Today, they regularly lead full-day workshops and advise at trade fairs. Especially when it comes to anime-inspired projects, they really know their stuff! ❤️
📸 Coming soon
Carmen – The Queen of Our Numbers
At Craftinglove, we also need someone who keeps an eye on the finances – and that's Carmen! 💰
She makes sure everything in the bookkeeping is in order and that we, as a company, stay on track.
Carmen joined us through a tufting workshop and now handles the bookkeeping with great care.
And many more!
Beyond our core team, we're supported by wonderful studio visitors, such as Muriel, my best friend Nadia, my stepdaughter Lina, and my studio friend Laura – they all help Craftinglove grow and thrive! 🌱
