About us
Less New. More You.
My now-husband and I somehow pulled off buying a house in spring 2025. Once we'd moved in and powered through a mountain of DIY, we wanted to furnish it with as much vintage as we could — and hit a wall. Every trip to our favorite Chicago shops was a guessing game: no way to know who had what before showing up. A year later, we built Sifted so nobody else has to guess.
Ali Ryder-Rodriguez
Co-founder
I teach high school, but in my free time I'm three stops deep into Chicago's thrift and vintage shops. My favorite kind of travel is the budget kind; the sort where I end up in an eclectic vintage store halfway across the world. I recently found out my weekend hobby is part of my family line: my great-grandfather ran a vintage shop in small-town Wisconsin back in the '50s. So Sifted is me carrying that on, just with better tools.
Steve Rodriguez
Co-founder
I work in sales and engineering, and I fall for anything with a little age on it. Years of travel, poking through antique and thrift stores in other countries, and finally becoming a homeowner turned a soft spot for old things into a full-blown love of the refurbished and the reclaimed.
