Existential Garnish, Inc. is a creative company founded by Pete VR: writer, designer and conceptual artist.

What's with the name? Well, start with you. Yes, just you (ahem ... in your birthday suit). Your utter existence. When you think about it, everything you add to "you" and your surroundings—what you wear, what you put in your home, what you read, what you hear—is ultimately just garnish for your existence, really.

That said, don't you want that garnish to express that unique "you" that you are?

Enter Existential Garnish.

Existential Garnish is an ever-expanding clearing house offering Pete's ideas for sale. The ideas are (and will be) as expansive as the human mind's wanderings. And that's good. We think you'll appreciate that human-to-human connection through creativity and design that's sparked by an initial idea from a human (not robot) brain.

The result is a growing collection of brands that can be funny, eyebrow-raising, head-scratch-inducing, bold, thoughtful ... or just plain full of it. Find the ones that fit you and the people you love.

Gray Matter Mode™

As mentioned, everything sold here begins in Gray Matter Mode, meaning the core concept was generated by a human brain, not a prompt. Learn more about what that means and why it matters.
