Grenade Hippies

My name is Jess D'Elia, and I am the proud owner and operator of Grenade Hippie, a venture that began as a simple hobby but has since blossomed into a way for me to share my art with the community.

The name "Grenade Hippie" was inspired by childhood memories with my brothers where we playfully threw pine cones at each other as if they were grenades. The hummingbird in our logo honors my grandmother, a pivotal figure in my life who introduced me to arts and crafts. She instilled in me the belief that when creating something for someone else, it should be done with utmost dedication and effort. This philosophy is something I cherish and strive to embody through my sublimation and vinyl art skills.

I am particularly passionate about custom work—creating unique, personalized items that truly reflect the individuality of my clients. Designing and crafting slates, apparel, and tumblers are among my favorite projects, each offering a canvas for someone’s unique story.
