Our Story

Hi, my name is Crystal and I am the owner of Malachi Matters.  When I first decided to start a new business, the inspiration was to create a source of income and give myself a creative outlet. My autistic son Malachi was going to be aging out of the school district and we had to start thinking about what that transition would look like. A priority for us was for Malachi to remain in his family home where he is with those who love and support him, and growing a successful small in-home business supported that goal. I also wanted to build something that would provide Malachi with a viable job. He is very meticulous with any task put before him and very much loves to help with anything. Over the course of our first year, Malachi has enjoyed helping deliver local orders and make trips to the post office to mail packages. His involvement in packaging increases as our business grows. My original vision for the business was my doing mostly custom work with Malachi’s assistance. When we discovered Malachi untapped talent for watercoloring, it added an entirely new dimension to our business. Now instead of Malachi helping ME, I'm helping HIM share his artwork and the response has been miraculous. The pure joy he gets from seeing his paintings on a new mug or tumbler - knowing someone ordered it because it brought them joy - is beyond words.

We are so proud to have been part of multiple local projects and love to support our community with donations. Part of my greater goal is to be able to immerse Malachi Matters into the fabric of Cedarburg and to be able to give back to the community that has given us so much. We are vendors at Cedarburg Mercantile & IDD Blossom and absolutely love the support they provide for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are so honored to be part of that. They are located on the south end of downtown Cedarburg, and we encourage you to stop in and support all the vendors and a great non-profit at the same time.

We can only grow with the support of others. If you are in need of custom products such as a variety of drinkware, bookmarks, coasters and more, or are looking to be able to offer personalized gifts for your customers or staff, we would love to have you reach out to us. We love to make products for local businesses!
