In 2014, siblings Crystal and Rico Worl co-founded Trickster Company to promote innovative Indigenous design. Their products range from snowboards to apparel to home goods and incorporate Northwest Coast formline design, an Indigenous art style that originated over 2,000 years ago. Several stores throughout Alaska, including the Sealaska Heritage Store in Juneau, carry Trickster products. The Worls also sell online through their website.
In addition to running Trickster Company, Crystal and Rico (pictured above in their Juneau studios) operate independently as artists. Crystal’s work includes paintings, graphic design, textiles, jewelry, glass, and public art. Rico’s work includes custom rings, product design, sculpture, and computer-aided 3D design. Both draw inspiration from their Tlingit-Athabascan heritage.
