AKZ.tools began with a simple idea in my small Brooklyn studio– to organize my brushes without taking up table space. Looking around the studio I spotted a scrap piece of wood, drilled some holes into it, and clamped it to the edge of my table. Over time, that solution became the foundation of our Paintbrush Holder and marked the beginning of AKZ.tools. – Ariela Kanarek Zrihen. Founder and Artist
