TESS DONOHOE & AMY ROSKO

Tess is an illustrator, designer, mama of 3, and co-founder of Studio DAD. Tess currently lives in Denmark and designs and illustrates all cards and advertising materials. She has been creating and drawing since she was a young child and continues to do so for many national brands and non-profits.

Amy is a gardener, media producer, seeker, and consultant. Based in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, she develops the practices, manages business operations, and offers readings and in-person classes. With over 25 years of experience in movement arts and energy work, she draws on this deep knowledge to inform her work.

We first crossed paths while working at a creative agency in Portland, Oregon. To help us stay grounded and present after long days of meetings and computer work, we made it a point to take walks together. During these walks, we explored the topic of mindfulness in depth. We also discussed collaborating on a creative project, which led us to combine our talents and interests to create an oracle deck. Our goal was to develop mindfulness tools that could aid in fostering care, connection, and awareness in our fast-paced lives.

Our Values

-Offering tools and services that bring joy and offer opportunities to nourish the body, mind, and spirit.

-Using minimalist and eco-friendly materials and packaging for the good of the planet.

-Working with local vendors in the Pacific Northwest to support the community and reduce our carbon footprint.

-Giving back and donating to various non-profit organizations, like NAYA Family Center. If you're part of a nonprofit currently seeking donations for auctions or events, please don't hesitate to reach out to us with your request.

-Committing to social justice and anti-racism. We continue to listen and learn. We are dedicated to personal work and using our platform for healing.

-Acknowledging that these cards are made on the traditional lands of the Squaxin Island, Skokomish, Nisqually, and Puyallup peoples, and the broader Coast Salish communities, who have cared for this land and its waters for generations.

-Deeply honoring the traditions, teachers, ancestors, and elders who have come before us and shared their ways of connecting to the body, mind, space, and collective. It is through their knowledge and teachings that we draw inspiration for the creation of these cards. In ritual, we pay homage to these individuals and their contributions, recognizing the importance of their work and the impact it has had on our lives and the lives of others. Their wisdom and guidance continue to inform and guide us as we create tools for mindfulness and self-care.
