All About Treatzone...

Who We Are

Treatzone is brought to you by Matthew and Sandy Lynn Davis.

Matthew has been a designer since age 10, when he won a competition to revamp the local public library logo. After spending his childhood drawing dinosaurs-on-roller-skates-drinking-orange-juice, he earned a BFA in Visual Communications from the Kansas City Art Institute. Not long after, he moved to San Francisco where he began a career in web design, started playing records at various nightclubs, launched the first Treatzone website in 2002, and met his lovely wife.

When Sandy was a kid she took after her Grandpa Tony, who was an artist. She fell in love with music as she grew older, however, and spent most of her teens and twenties studying opera. She met Matthew in 2004, and he (along with a knitting roommate) inspired her to start making things by hand again. In addition to collaborating with Matthew on Treatzone, she now works in the design department at a local publisher.

We've been collaborating on creative projects since we met, but things really kicked into high gear as we prepared for our wedding in 2007. We decided to keep the momentum going and launched our first line of Treatzone prints and stationery in 2008. With two solo shows in 2009, our work has grown to include mixed media, illustration, and photography, and we can't wait to see what happens next!

 

What We Do

We're always searching for the little treats in life! We love making something new out of something old. Inspired by the forgotten and overlooked, we often use repurposed vintage materials and imagery in our work, and package our goods in earth-friendly materials. Plus we are somewhat obsessive collectors and list-makers. This site is home to various catalogs of things we find charming, inspirational, or just plain bizarre. We love to share and we hope you'll join us!

 

Our Manifesto

Treatzone exists to showcase a small sampling of the many gems in life, some of which are obvious, some of which you may have overlooked, and the best of which we still have yet to find. Always knowing that the joy of life’s discoveries are in direct relation to the complexity of the search.
