Nice to Meet You!

Built Not Born started as a mindset, a side hustle, and a way to create things that actually meant something. In 2025, we are on a mission with my team to build quality products that hit hard and hold up — all Made in the USA, baby.

This site is our outlet:

A place to drop the fastest artwork on the internet and encourage the ones out there forging their own path to keep up the good fight. From the Archives to the garage, we’re just getting started.

With weekly drops on the horizon, we are working hard here in Charleston, SC to bring the highest quality custom metal art to auto purists and enthusiasts alike.

Charleston, SC is home for Built Not Born and the lasers that cut our future. We are funded by a local entrepreneur, the man the myth, Mark Richards, who often tinkers and invents within the same bay doors.

There is never a dull day at HQ, and we are always open to show you around :)

Follow us on Instagram to keep up with the goings on at the shop and with our community, and stay updated with our latest drops!!

Cheers,

Kurt & the Team
