Crafteaze: In the Making

It all started with two gamers—and turned into a mission to support crafters everywhere!

Our Story

It all started during the pandemic lockdown. As a longtime gamer, I was used to marathon sessions—but the real challenge wasn’t in the game. It was the aching shoulders, stiff neck, and constant discomfort from sitting for hours. One day, I grabbed my wife’s nursing pillow, just to see if it might help. It was soft and flexible, and for a moment, it made a difference.

But it still wasn’t quite right.


Nothing out there truly supported the body in the way that people with seated hobbies—like gaming, knitting, or crocheting—really needed. So I called up my longtime friend and fellow gamer, Hilal, and shared the idea. Together, we started designing a pillow that would actually work. That’s how Valari was born.

After launching our ergonomic gaming pillow on Kickstarter, something magical happened.

At first, just a few curious comments: "This could work for my crafting!" But six months post-launch, our world changed—Facebook ads flooded with testimonials, emails poured in daily, and a passionate crafting community emerged from nowhere.

From Gamer to Becoming a Crocheter

In 2025, we picked up crochet hooks ourselves, learning the craft to truly understand what the community needed.

From luxurious velvet covers to functional tool pockets, every design decision now comes from real experience backed by research.

Two Communities, One Mission

Today, we serve digital warriors and creative artisans alike. Our commitment to the crafting community led us to create Crafteaze—a brand dedicated for crafters by Valari.
