The Big Business of Furries. Meet Colorado Creator Sarah Dee

A fan of Disney cartoons, stuffed animals, and animals in general since her childhood, Sarah got her start making a few costumes for friends and others in 2009. Choosing to leave a career in advertising, she set out on her own in 2011 to found Menagerie Workshop. Five years and 300+ costumes later, business is thriving, with customers waiting upwards of twelve months for her custom creations. Entirely self-taught, Sarah works well over 40 hours a week bringing mascots and other characters to life as well as handling all other aspects of the business. Host Mary McKenna will help bring some of these furry creatures to life on this episode of Smart Companies Radio. To listen to more shows, please visit our archives. Learn more about your ad choices.
