Artist
My name is Mariah Starkey
And I am born and raised in AZ.
Art has always been a hobby and passion of mine. A Northern Arizona University graduate, I began my career in teaching art to 5th-8th grade students at my local middle school. During the pandemic in 2020 our school campus was closed and students, teachers and families were forced to improvise.
With the time out of the classroom and many extra hours on my hands, I rediscovered my own love for creating and began painting shoes for my nephews.
Then I began painting for friends.
Then friends of friends.
Now I’m creating for the world!

My creative process
01
Committed to Quality
Designs are painted by hand using Angelus Leather paints on well known brands like Vans and Nike. The paint is highly durable, flexible, and water resistant. Premium quality guaranteed and shoes can be worn as normal.
02
Innovative Designs
​My focus is on creating unique one of kind shoes that will make you stand out! I love hearing the creative ideas customers have. I pride myself on communication first to discuss a design that fits your vision while adding my own creativity to bring your vision to life.
03
100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
I want you to be completely happy with the experience. If you have questions about the process, products, or even shipping, get in touch! I hope you continue to shop Starkey Custom Co shoes for many years to come.
