Get Social Responsibility up your sleeve.

Meet Electricbaby makers of smart laptop sleeves for creative revolutionaries, but that’s not all. No actually that is just the beginning.

Electricbaby uses their products as a platform for a recycling program in Bali, a snowboard program for kids who can’t afford it, and a state-wide (Washington) hunger relief agency.

Meet a bonafide social entrepreneur. Electricbaby is led by righteous Eco Tech-nomad, Franklin Joyce, a man capable of balancing art, commerce, and global relief efforts.

Franklin married his skills in art, business, technology, and doing the right thang into a series of beautiful and economical sleeves for laptops. For Franklin there was no other way.

“Electricbaby and friends have designed some very cool laptop sleeves.” Franklin Joyce explains, “The electricbaby laptop sleeve collection supports an organized effort to pair artists with non-profits, bringing visibility to our heroes in the non-profit community.”

Franklin will also tell you that his business has a long way to go in regards to their economic growth but also addressing their impact on people and the planet. Franklin and the Electricbaby crew are constantly working on new ways the company can reduce their footprint while increasing their market share to further support the projects they love.

“Now electricbaby is inviting 30 favorite artists from across the states to create sticker designs for non-profits local and dear to them,” says Franklin. “We will be doing all of the sticker production as a gift to the non-profits the artists support. This will be followed by a gallery tour to create some collective press for all the organizations and artists involved.”
