About Keen Bee Studio

Our Story

Keen Bee Studio started with a simple idea: create designs that celebrate the joy of reading.

I'm Kristi, a school librarian who has spent years helping students discover the magic of books. After working in school libraries for more than a decade, I wanted to create something that reflected the world I loved — books, libraries, and the communities built around them.

What began as a small creative project quickly grew into something bigger than I ever expected.

Today, Keen Bee Studio has served more than 40,000 customers, including librarians, teachers, readers, parents, and book lovers across the country.

A Family-Run Studio

Keen Bee Studio is truly a family business.

My husband Aubrey and I run the shop together from our home studio in Texas. Many of our products are printed, packed, and shipped right here in our workspace. We produce items in small batches so we can focus on quality, care, and thoughtful design.

While a small portion of our items are produced through trusted print partners, the heart of our shop remains in the designs we create and the products we prepare ourselves.

Every order represents a real person who loves books as much as we do, and we never take that for granted.

Designs for Readers of Every Age

Our collections are inspired by the readers we see every day in libraries and classrooms.

You'll find designs for:

• librarians and teachers
• lifelong readers and book lovers
• fantasy fans and adventure seekers
• babies and kids growing up surrounded by stories

From cozy sweatshirts and literary t-shirts to baby onesies for the next generation of bookworms, every piece celebrates a love of reading.

Why We Do This

Libraries change lives. Books connect people. Stories help us see the world in new ways.

Keen Bee Studio exists to celebrate that community — the readers, librarians, teachers, and families who believe that stories matter.

When you support our shop, you're supporting a small, family-run business built around a love of books.
