About Me

🖤 Hi, I’m Heather — the designer, caffeine addict, and unapologetic sarcasm distributor behind Steam & Sass.

I didn’t start this mug shop because I “always dreamed of running a small business.”
Nope.
Steam & Sass was born during postpartum depression, when everything felt heavy except for two things: dark humor and hot coffee.
While the world told me to “enjoy every moment,” my brain said:
actually, no.
So instead of pretending to be fine, I poured the chaos, the honesty, and the unfiltered humor into something that made sense:
A mug shop for people who are so over pretending everything’s perfect.
If you cope with life using caffeine, sarcasm, and questionable decisions —
welcome home.

What You’ll Find Here
Steam & Sass is where bold humor meets everyday coffee rituals.
Every mug is:
- Designed by a one-woman creative hurricane
- Printed on durable ceramic that survives mood swings & dishwashers
- Made to say what you're thinking (without actually having to say it)
- Small-business crafted — every order supports my family and keeps the sass flowing
Why I Do This
I wanted to create something that made people laugh on the days they needed it most — and on the days they just wanted to scream into the void.
Your morning coffee should feel like a tiny act of rebellion.
Your mug should feel like it gets you.
And judging by the 300+ caffeine gremlins who’ve joined the Steam & Sass crew…
we’re doing something right.

From My Chaos to Yours

Thanks for being here.
Thanks for supporting a small business with a loud personality.
And thanks for choosing mugs that don’t sugarcoat life.
Now grab a drink, grab a mug, and let’s navigate this beautiful mess together.
