Built Not Born started as a mindset... a side hustle and a way to create things that actually meant something.
In 2026, we’re on a mission with our team to build quality products that hit hard and hold up, all proudly Made in the USA.
This site is our outlet.
A place to drop some of the fastest artwork on the internet and encourage those out there forging their own path.
With weekly drops on the horizon, we’re working hard in Charleston, SC to bring high-quality, custom metal art to auto purists and enthusiasts alike.
Charleston is home for Built Not Born — and for the lasers that cut our future. We’re backed by a local entrepreneur, the man, the myth, Mark Richards, who’s often right there with us, tinkering and inventing behind the same bay doors.
There’s never a dull day at HQ, and we’re always happy to show you around.
Follow us on social to keep up with life at the shop, our community, and the latest drops.
Cheers,
Kurt & the Team
