Hi, I’m Carlos — the creative mind behind PixelGiftWorks.

I live in Salem, Indiana, though I’m originally from Louisville, Kentucky. My spouse, Jason, and I traded the fast pace of city life for a quieter, more fulfilling lifestyle in the country. Together we’re building not just a homestead, but also a creative life that blends art, technology, and community.

Jason is the inspiration behind our sister brand, JaybirdJives. While his website is still under construction, you can already find his work on Etsy. We love cheering each other on, swapping ideas, and seeing both of our creative visions grow side by side.

These days, we share our homestead with two dogs (Leela and Lucy), our spoiled cat Fry Fro, a turkey named Sage who thinks he’s human, chickens, peafowl, guineas, and even an aquarium of fish who follow us like we’re their entertainment. 🐓🐕🐈🐟 Life here is never boring, and it constantly inspires the art I create.

My Passions

  • Digital Design & Crafting → from shirts and tumblers to unique sublimation art
  • Gardening & Homesteading → growing food and raising animals alongside designing
  • AI & Creativity → I love exploring how technology and art meet
  • Fall & Halloween → my favorite season — cooler air, harvest time, and endless inspiration for creative projects

What I Create

PixelGiftWorks specializes in unique, high-quality digital downloads for sublimation, small business projects, and personal crafting. My mission is to make your creative journey easier, more inspiring, and more fun.

My Promise

I never intentionally copy branded content — originality and respect for trademark law matter to me. Mistakes can happen, but I work hard to ensure that my designs are fresh, creative, and safe for your projects.

Let’s Connect

I’ll admit — I’m not a social butterfly. I love people (from a bit of distance 😉), and I thrive best online, where I can connect with like-minded makers and crafters. Social media can feel awkward for me, but I’d love for you to join me there anyway — we can be awkward together!

And if you’ve signed up for Friday Freebies, you’re already part of this community — getting fresh designs, exclusive deals, and a welcome bundle of 30+ free tumbler wraps to kick things off.

Thank you for being here, for supporting my small business, and for being part of this creative journey with me (and Jason!).
