ABOUT COMER TENG STUDIO

Comer Teng Studio is a husband and wife team that has been working together since 2017. They create and design jewelry, accessories, home goods.  They work with lightweight materials like wood, leather, cork, acrylic and upcycled fabric to design and create. 

ABOUT PT

I come from a creative and entrepreneurial family. My mom introduced me to the magic of making things by hand — I have fond memories of picking out fabric together at the store, dreaming up what it could become, and learning from her what it means to live a creative life. My dad, on the other hand, modeled hard work and determination through the restaurant he ran throughout my childhood. I’ve always carried both of their influences with me: the joy of creating and the drive to build something of my own.

I’ve spent over 20 years as a classroom teacher in elementary schools, and teaching has remained a huge part of my life. Today, I lead workshops for both children and adults in towns across the MetroWest Boston area — sharing not only techniques, but also the sense of wonder and empowerment that comes from making something with your own hands. Whether in a classroom or a community space, I love creating opportunities for others to connect through creativity.

Since 2017, I’ve been designing and building this business alongside my partner Sean. Together, we bring our ideas to life — combining artistry, craft, and purpose in everything we create. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built and deeply excited for what’s ahead.

ABOUT SEAN

I was born and raised in rural Maine and grew up with a passion for using my hands. Drawing, sculpting and building led me to a degree in Studio Art at the University of Vermont. I met Paulina there in 1998 and we’ve been together ever since. We graduated and even though I never formally pursued an official career in the art field, I’ve never stopped creating. Working with leather and making jewelry and accessories has been something totally new for me and I’m so excited to be making these creations with my best friend.
