    Yuri and Julia did a great job with a small rush engraving project I needed in time for holiday gifts. Their customer service was top notch and they clearly care deeply about their craft. Super responsive, affordable and high quality. Hope to work with them again!

    Laser engraved wedding logo on my shoes

    Yuri and Julia did an amazing job laser engraving my shoes with our wedding logo. These are expensive shoes (red bottoms), and Yuri handled them with great care, making sure to contact me to ensure he had the logo placement, size and angle correct. They couldn't have come out more perfectly, and I really appreciate his attention to detail!

    Super thankful for the service here! And definitely loved the result! Thanks again Yuri, babe was speechless

    For comparison, this is the same work I had done at the competitor (not at Aardvark).

    I uploaded two pictures (the ones that say "Galaxies and lifetimes") of an engraving done somewhere else, and done at Aardvark. They're the ones that say "Galaxies and lifetimes". I'm a perfectionist, and was working on a music box to propose to my (now) fiancée. I went to the other popular yelp engraving shop first - they emailed me three options (all with mistakes), I picked a design, and a few days later, got my plate. I hated it. With less than two days to go, as a desperate last shot, I stopped by Yuri's place to see if there was anything we could do. He dropped everything he was doing and pulled me around behind his desk where he let me have direct input on his design software, and poured over tiny, half-decimal font size changes, even printing demos, until we got it perfect. Then he pulled me into the back of the shop and I watched him do the engraving right there. He probably charged me about half of what he deserved, and when I realized I needed to make a small correction the next day, he did it same-day - for free. On top of this, Yuri is also just a really nice guy and I enjoyed nerding out with him about retro video games. I really don't have enough positive things to say. I'm bummed that I can't rate higher than 5 stars, but I was thrilled to have him play such an key role in my proposal. Obrigado, Yuri!

    Personalized Cork on KeepCups

    I wanted to personalize some KeepCups and after doing a bit of research, Aardvark seemed like the most reasonably priced, flexible option for 3 items. I am really glad I went here- my holiday gifts came out great and the service was excellent. The process was easy- they gave me a quote over Yelp, I came in to drop off the cups and choose fonts, and picked up my cups a week or two later. Julia gave me great font suggestions and general advice. I will definitely come back here if I ever need to do something similar in the future.

    SUMMARY: Soulmind Studios always exceeds our expectations esp when it comes to customer service!…read moreTwo more projects done, check out the pics of our new custom planter and refurbished outdoor benches! BACKGROUND A friend of ours who we met on Yelp referred us to Soulmind a year ago and they've done some great work for us. Our latest projects: a custom sized planter and wood bench slats for some Berkeley Iron benches and side tables. PLANTER We have a space on our porch between two brick columns that desperately needed something in between to fill the void. Since we receive packages from time to time, what if we put a taller planter in that space that would not only beautify the space, but also hide any packages from porch pirates? Hence the planter idea was born. After taking measurements, we discussed the project with Erik and he gave us some ideas. I was thinking of something else but his design not only looks a lot bette than what I was thinking, but also it was easy to manufacture (thus saving us costs and assembly time). For this project unlike others, he drilled the pilot holes and even provided us the construction screws. How's that for service! We assembled the planter together using wood glue, screws, and lined it with a liner. Looks really nice on our porch! BERKELEY IRON BENCHES and SIDE TABLES The previous home owner didn't want to haul these benches as part of her move, so I saw the value in keeping them so we asked her to leave them for us. I disassembled one be happy and provided Erik and crew the dimensions. While it took some time to make as our order was back in their queue, the results were outstanding. We had some pieces that required a round over which we had to return to get done, but they got done without any fuss or extra charge. They used a marine grade wood and stained and sealed it to perfection. We're really happy. Each bench though takes a lot of work as we have to disassemble each bench, refurb and de-rust the hardware, clean, prime, and then paint each metal frame piece. Thus we only have one done so far. But check out the before and after pics. We are extremely happy with the results and we will save hundreds of dollars by taking the time to refurb these benches vs buying new ones. THANKS SOULMIND!

I got to work with Eric who helped us make these beautiful wooden signs exactly the way we wanted. He perfected the color, design, and size. He was very easy to work with and was very flexible in when I could pick them up as I worked really long hours as the commute from SF is quite painfully long. When I went inside he kindly gave me a tour to show me and the hubs all the neat machinery and projects they were working on from basic signs, to nic nacks, to full on flower/moss boards. It was a neat experience and it definitely made me see the time and effort Eric and his team put into each and every project. I will definately come back again if I ever need any woodwork designs again.

I wanted to make them special by getting them engraved with their names on each of the bracelets. I called Laser Mark's and I spoke to Jacob who let me know that the laser is flat and they may not be able to engrave a curved bracelet. However, he agreed to let me bring the bracelet cuffs into his shop so he could look at them to determine if it would be possible. He let me know that it may not work but he was willing to try engraving them. I told him that I was willing to risk it since the bracelets were inexpensive and I could purchase them again if it didn't turn out. I am so happy that I took the risk because the bracelets look so much better with the girls' names engraved on them and it makes the gifts more personal. Jacob took special care to put a black tape over the area on the bracelet that was to be engraved to test over the tape so I could see how the name would appear and give my approval before doing the actual engraving. It was a cool process and fun to participate in.
