Hi there! I’m Keith Stieneke, the proud creator and mastermind behind Make Me Buttons, your one-stop shop for all things pinback buttons. If you’ve landed here, you’re probably wondering, Who is the person behind all these awesome buttons? Well, let me take a moment to share my story and the journey that led me to turn my passion into a thriving pinback button business.
The Early Days: Creativity in My DNA
From a young age, I’ve always had a knack for creating things. Whether it was doodling in sketchbooks or coming up with quirky slogans, I loved expressing myself in fun, visual ways. That passion for creativity eventually blossomed into a love for design—and a fascination with small, wearable art like buttons.
Back in the day, I remember seeing buttons with witty sayings or cool designs at events and thinking, This is genius! You can share a message or personality on something so small! That little spark stayed with me and eventually turned into a full-blown obsession.
How Make Me Buttons Began
Make Me Buttons started as a small project. At first, I made buttons for fun—gifting them to friends, making them for events, or creating custom designs just to see the smiles they brought to people’s faces. What began as a side hobby quickly grew into something more when people kept asking me for more!
In 2015, I officially launched Make Me Buttons with one simple mission: to create high-quality, custom buttons that let people express themselves in unique and creative ways.
Why Pinback Buttons?
Buttons are more than just little pieces of metal and plastic. To me, they’re mini billboards of self-expression. They can carry a message, promote a cause, start a conversation, or simply show off your sense of humor. Buttons are timeless, affordable, and incredibly versatile—and honestly, who doesn’t love a great button?

Beyond Buttons: My Life Outside the Workshop
When I’m not designing buttons or perfecting orders, you’ll usually find me hiking, fishing, writing, or spending time with friends. Creativity should extend into all aspects of life, and I love finding inspiration in the world around me.
