This week on Match Volume, Nataly Joseph sat down with Travis Hines, who helped found the custom rug company, Tugs Rugs. After finding overnight viral success on Tiktok, the Hines family began working together to support the business started by their son, who is also named Travis. Hines schools Joseph on all things tufting, as well as how to connect with customers and build community around artistic commerce.
