Tim Foster- Founder / Creative Director
Pennyroyal was founded by Tim Foster in 2006 following a short few years in Marketing & Artist Development at a major record company.
From 2006-2016, Tim specialized in handcrafted sterling silver jewelry, creating one-of-a-kind custom designs, and releasing a handful of capsule collections inspired by his interests and travels.
Between 2009-2015, Tim released a series of charitable jewelry collaborations with well-known musicians and entertainment figures, often translating exact handwriting and sketches into limited-edition jewelry designs. The Pennyroyal Signature Collection raised over $400,000 for MusiCares, The Trevor Project, Surfrider Foundation, and DonorsChoose.org.
In 2015, Tim expanded Pennyroyal’s product offerings beyond jewelry to include premium-quality collectibles like pins, keychains, magnets, tote bags & apparel. Today, Pennyroyal is a small product design agency creating premium-quality custom products for some of the most iconic brands in the world.
As chief designer and creative director, Tim brings his diverse experience and penchant for detail to every project.
Tim is originally from Minnesota and has called Los Angeles home for 17 years. He is a lifelong drummer and enjoys sailboat racing, paddle boarding, hiking, biking, and the endless outdoor activities Los Angeles has to offer.
