A small studio with a simple promise: every piece is made just for you.
We started Balboa Custom Keepsakes because we believe keepsakes should be more than just souvenirs—they should be unique items that bring back cherished memories.
After more than 24 years together, we decided to embark on a new adventure together: creating a local business that leverages both our talents. With over 20 years of experience in the tech industry, Chris's technical approach brings an eye for digital precision and structural logic. Cherie brings a lifelong appreciation for curated artistry—a passion that evolved from collecting plushies and limited-edition Disney dolls to seeking out intricately designed pins from independent makers.
Together, we bridge the gap between digital concepts and physical realities. Whether you need a simple personalized gift or a complex commemorative design, we don't just engrave items; we construct things worth keeping. We combine strict technical fabrication with a curator's eye for meaningful detail, ensuring every piece we build feels intentionally crafted and uniquely yours.
