GLAM LLC
Great Lakes Adventure Makers
How it started
Built from years around cards, games, and making things work.
Great Lakes Adventure Makers LLC started with the feeling that many accessories and gamer-oriented products were bland and samey. We believe useful products can also have style, personality, structure, and a more personal sense of ownership.
GLAM LLC is built to stay agile: able to tune machines, ideas, and designs around an intriguing challenge, an electric experiment, or a larger production need. The products and projects come from the heart of the cards, boards, and tabletop games we have loved over the years.
Vision
Build a Great Lakes-rooted shop where games, products, and stories connect.
The long-term vision is a large, unique catalog of accessories, GLAM TCG creations, TCG offerings, and creative media shaped by craft, personal customization, play, family, and Michigan independent spirit.
Great Lakes giving
Great Lakes goods should help protect Great Lakes water.
GLAM LLC is committing 1% of sales to Great Lakes water protection, beginning with Flow Water Advocates. Flow Water Advocates is a Michigan nonprofit working to keep the waters of the Great Lakes Basin healthy, public, and protected for all.
Owner and maker
TJ Karagosian, Founder - Designer - Gamer
GLAM LLC is founder-led by TJ Karagosian, a lifelong fan of games, stories, worlds of creativity and wonder, and the emotional pull of well-made media. TJ has always been drawn to making things tangible, whether that means a useful object for the table or a fictional world that gives people a little more wonder to carry with them.
His design path started in 2D, moved through VFX and independent film/video work, and has grown naturally into 3D design and Product engineering. GLAM LLC is where those interests meet: making the games and accessories he already loves more usable, more personal, and more fun to share.
The company is also rooted in Michigan family life and small-business values. TJ grew up around entrepreneurship through his father and Karagosian Jewelers in Sylvan Lake, and he is carrying that torch forward in his own way. Away from the workbench, he is happiest around the Great Lakes, fishing with family, enjoying lake life, Traverse City wine country, and fall colors in the Upper Peninsula.
