This shop is one branch of "6MK," a graphic and information design business. 6mk was started by Chantie Coryell in 2011, originally offering design services then quickly adding product lines.

Chantie began doing freelance graphic design projects in 2009; often working on research projects and local political campaigns. After graduating from the University of California at Davis in 2010 Chantie began working in an office environment; programming Student Aid calculators. By December of 2010 it became clear that a cubicle was not a good place for a creative person to spend her days.

Shortly after leaving her position as a Product Development Specialist, Chantie returned to freelance graphic design work. She later decided to officially start a her own business; and 6MK graphic + information design was born.
