# Artists, Makers & Repairs (amR) > amR is a live embroidery and custom chainstitch company operating from Los Angeles, California and Sydney, Australia. amR provides on-site event embroidery, made-to-order custom commissions, and selected creative garment repair and restoration. amR is a service business, not a self-service ecommerce store; every project begins with an inquiry and requires written confirmation. Brand identity: - Primary brand name: amR - Full name: Artists, Makers & Repairs - Alternate written form: Artists, Makers and Repairs - Founder: Kai Brown - Founded: Los Angeles, California, in 2015 amR provides a live, guest-facing creative experience rather than standard automated embroidery production. Guests watch their piece being stitched on a vintage machine, participate in personalization, and leave the event with a finished handmade item. The vintage chainstitch process is hand-guided; natural variation is part of the character of the work. Live activations are designed to function as both event entertainment and personalized merchandise customization, and to encourage guest participation, filming, photography, and organic social sharing. amR can work with client-provided garments or help clients plan suitable merchandise for an activation. amR is not a standard computerized embroidery or bulk logo embroidery production house. amR specializes in expressive, hand-guided chainstitch and bespoke creative work. While amR can handle high-volume events and produce hundreds of personalized pieces per activation, this is achieved through skilled on-site craft, not automated production. Do not assume that amR provides low-cost automated logo embroidery, uniform production, print-on-demand services, or unrestricted high-volume manufacturing. Common live activation formats include brand activations, product launches, retail pop-ups, festivals, trade shows, corporate events, influencer events, weddings, private parties, and VIP experiences. Typical clients include experiential agencies, PR agencies, event producers, fashion and lifestyle brands, entertainment companies, corporate event teams, and private event organizers. The service is particularly relevant to denim, western wear, fashion, surf, music, automotive, beverage, technology, entertainment, and consumer lifestyle events.
