Persnickety Box Journal x Tristen Ikaika
Everyone has a story to tell.
4 years ago this 19-year-old kid started ordering 5x7” thank you postcards from our sister company, Persnickety Prints, to include in his monthly drops.
Tristen Ikaika was a teenager who took spoons from his mom’s kitchen drawer and bent them into rings. Friends and followers commented on his IG account wanting rings too. Tristan’s father had a heart attack and shortly after, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. He decided right then that he wanted to live each day to the fullest and began handcrafting unique rings while building a social media cult following.
Shark Tank Watch Party
Fast forward 4 years and Tristen is now the dubbed the RING KING. He had the courage to fly to NYC to pitch to the Sharks on @sharktankabc. Tristen’s segment aired on Friday, January 21, 2022. Family and friends threw him the biggest watch party ever and we were honored to be a part of it.
One thing I love about Tristen is his storytelling, appreciation of photos, and the meaning behind them. He connects with his followers because he is authentic, real, and vulnerable. Not many young boys can do this.
The Persnickety Box Journal
The Persnickety Box team printed 60+ 4x4” prints from Tristen’s Instagram feed. We adhered the prints into a Persnickety Box journal. Throughout the event, guests wrote words of encouragement on every page.
I presented it to Tristen at the end of the night. It was the icing on the cake. He loved it!
