Son of a Sailor is the result of William and Jessica, husband and wife, and their delight and exploration of creative process. They volley ideas back and forth, each helping to craft and form every item that they create.

William and Jessica met while she was living in San Francisco and he in Austin. She was originally from Austin, but had been in the Bay Area for a couple of years. William traveled to the Bay Area to visit a friend, her roommate, and they immediately hit it off. The first day spent together they ended up doing art projects on the floor of her room! After that trip, they began dating long distance. Every time they would have a visit, they ended up creating something together.

Ten months later, Jessica returned to Austin. Together, in the scope of a year, they bought a house, began Son of a Sailor, and became engaged to be married. It's clear they like to do everything at once.

In 2013, William and Jessica launched a second line, Son of a Sailor Supply, where they have continued to expand their offering of goods to accessories for men and women, and unique gifts. William and Jessica look forward to continuing to design and add great items to their offering.
