Backerkit is a crowdfunding platform similar to Kickstarter and Indigogo. Normally,it is a way for you to help an artist, creator, inventor, or dreamer bring a project to life. Many projects are held back due to the up-front cost such as manufacturing, and crowdfunding is a way to help fund those costs. Without amazing people like you, projects like this and many others would never be brought to life!
But this holiday season, there's a twist! Instead of being a place where you can back a project, it's transformed into a marketplace where creators sell ready to ship items!
💲How Does Payment Work?💲
Backerkick works on a pledge now, pay later basis. So you can select your items now and you pay when the marketplace closes! Once you pay, creators will send our surveys to collect shipping information and then it's as simple as pack and ship!
💎 How Do I Pick My Rewards? 💎
Due to this unique event, you select the items you want during the add-on phase! Since I made it easy, all shipping is a flat $5 rate as my thanks to everyone!
📦 Why are things so limited? 📦
Because this event is made for ready-to-ship items, I can only ship what I have immediately on hand. This is also a chance to get early access to items from recently funded projects before their official close date! But those items are limited to 10 of each kind, so act fast before they're gone!

Hello Everyone! I'm Dakota, the artist and creator behind Wayward Enigma Designs. I love drawing, playing video games, and learning more about he world through documentaries.
What made you become an artist? I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor and find that this experience changed how I view and interact with the world. It was always my dream to do art, I even attempted to go to art school before leaving for personal reasons to study business instead. Although my love of art never went away. After my diagnosis, I promised myself I'd work for my dreams if I survived. And I did! My art business is a promise to myself, and a way to send my art all over the world! So if anything ever happens, I can leave the world knowing I left an artistic handprint behind.
Did you go to art school? I did for one semester, but due to personal reasons left, so I moved back home and studied business instead.
Do you do art full-time? I wish, and one day I hope to. For now, I work in fiscal services by day and work on my art at night and weekends!
Do you go to events? I do! In 2025, I did and will do many events in Illinois. In 2026, I hope to slowly expand to further shows!
What are your socials? I'm going to start posting more in the future!
