# FAQ

## Products

- **Where does the name Character come from?**  
  Homes with ‘character’ are interesting, unique, and charming. They are expressive and often one of a kind! We want to help people add these types of personal touches to their spaces, bringing character to life.

More deeply, we love the idea that home is an expression — and even an extension — of self. In a way, by bringing our home dreams to life, big or small, we’re creating a version of ourselves but in our dwellings! We’re personifying our homes — creating a character that represents us.

- **Where can I suggest an idea for a future Character Project Kit?**  
  We are hard at work developing more Project Kits. We’d love to hear what projects you are most excited about doing with Character. Send us a message through our Contact Us page, chat with our support team or send us an email at hwmarketing@homewerks.com.
